Nutritional values
The high content of vitaminB1 makes chicken breast particularly valuable. It ensures a smoothly functioning nervous system and thinking performance. Sweet potatoes score with beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. This is important for healthy vision, among other things.
If you get some, it is best to use couscous in the whole-grain version. This contains more fiber and vitamins than the light version.
