Artgerechte Food Facts
Radicchio is a bitter, purple-red leaf lettuce from the chicory family that is rich in antioxidants, fiber and vitamin K. Its bitter substances aid digestion and make it particularly healthy. Radicchio is versatile, whether raw in a salad or briefly fried as an aromatic side dish.
Pecans are rich in healthy unsaturated fats, antioxidants and vitamin E, which support the cardiovascular system. They also provide important minerals such as magnesium and zinc and are an excellent source of vegetable protein. Their sweet and nutty aroma makes them a popular ingredient in savory and sweet dishes.
Watermelons consist of around 90% water and are therefore an excellent, low-calorie refreshment on hot days. They are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and the antioxidant lycopene, which protects against cell damage. Watermelons also promote hydration and support the body's fluid balance thanks to their high water content.
