Nutritional values

This gentle pasta creation, which also goes down well with children, proves that the iron reservoirs can be filled completely without meat. One portion of zucchini pasta contributes one third of the daily iron requirement and thus reduces the risk of deficiency symptoms, which can manifest themselves as tiredness or lack of concentration, among other things.

Serve a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice with your meal - the vitamin C it contains improves iron absorption.
