Nutritional values

Green spelt can be recommended as a nerve food. B vitamins and magnesium from it activate the ability to think. Considerable amounts of niacin, also called vitamin B3, is a boost from chicken breasts. The micronutrient regulates important processes, including energy metabolism - which can significantly reduce fatigue.

To easily make a vegetarian version of the green core salad, you can replace the chicken with tofu cubes and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Cook green spelt in boiling salted water for about 45 minutes. Then drain in a sieve, drain and let cool briefly.
