Nutritional values

The appetizers already contain one third of the daily fibre requirement per portion, which is good for digestion and the intestines. In addition, you are supplied with potent antioxidants: Beta-carotene, vitamin E and C - at 50 to 300 percent of the daily requirement. They neutralise free radicals and thus protect your body from harmful influences.

Prefer peppers from organic farming. They contain less water than conventionally grown peppers, but they are richer in vital substances and have a much more aromatic taste.
