Nutritional values

Peas and corn convince with vegetable protein, which supports muscle building and muscle maintenance. The beta-carotene from the carrots protects the body cells from possible damage; the plant pigment is also important as a precursor of vitamin A for strong vision, especially in the dark.

For more fibre in the minestrone, wholemeal noodles are recommended - this supports digestion and keeps you full for longer.
