Nutritional values

This is where the cell protection vitamin trio ACE reaches its peak. The combination of carotene-rich sweet potato, vitamin C-containing dandelion and vitamin E from nuts and high-quality vegetable oils leaves free radicals (= harmful metabolic products) hardly a chance.

The wholemeal flour is particularly savory and also a little richer in fiber.
