Nutritional values

With over 100 per cent of the daily target of niacin, a portion of this vitamin is a trump card - and thus becomes a beauty and fitness enhancer: The B vitamin is responsible for elastic, smooth skin and increases the level of "good" HDL cholesterol in the blood.

Also good for barbecuing: The foil packs can be prepared on the charcoal grill without any problems. Then simply serve wholemeal baguette with them.
