Nutritional values
Potassium from cauliflower supports the body in the regulation of the acid-base balance and in the transmission of stimuli in the nerve cells. Cashews score with calcium and phosphorus. These minerals are the perfect combination for stable bones and strong teeth.
You can get whole grain linguine in health food stores and well-stocked supermarkets. If you can't get any, you can use other whole grain pasta of your choice instead, for example fusilli or spaghetti.
