Nutritional values

Inulin from dandelion is a water-soluble dietary fiber that has a positive effect on blood sugar levels. It also serves as food for our beneficial intestinal bacteria and thus ensures healthy intestinal flora. The native superfood barley provides stomach-friendly mucilage, which can have a calming effect on the digestive system.

If you can't get fresh dandelion, you can replace the herb with arugula or baby spinach. If you find the blue cheese too tart in taste, you can use cubes of feta instead.
