Nutritional values
Need some nerve food for the job? Carrots can help us cope better with major stresses thanks to their B vitamins. With their high protein content provide chickpeas nourish the muscles. And they reduce the effects of the stress hormone cortisol through the mineral magnesium.
You can prepare a larger quantity of the carrot falafel directly and freeze them - then you can always spontaneously prepare a delicious falafel box. The carrot falafel with salad are also a great addition to other dishes and look great in a colorful vegetable bowl or in wraps.
