Nettle Omelet with Basil Pesto
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Use the nettle, demonized by many as a weed, in the kitchen! Thanks to silicic acid, it ensures beautiful nails and healthy hair. Pine nuts are little all-rounders: iron, magnesium, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids support, among other things, blood formation, nerves and muscles and cell protection.
The omelet goes well with a piece of our Low Carb Seed Bread. The nuts and seeds contained in it provide a long-lasting feeling of satiety thanks to many fibers as well as protein.
