Nutritional values

The shrimps not only bring delicacy to the noble salad - they also ensure that the daily requirement of iodine is covered by about 40 percent. As an important component of thyroid hormones, iodine is involved in energy metabolism. In contrast, the valuable unsaturated fatty acids from rapeseed and walnut oil are good for the heart and blood vessels.

The mixture of white and green rods makes for a particularly attractive appearance. Those who like can of course stay with one variety: White asparagus alone makes the dish even more noble, while the green spears make it taste more spicy.
