Artgerechte Food Facts
Carrots, as root vegetables, store their carbohydrate content directly in active cell structures, which remain intact even during cooking and are only slowly released during digestion, which in turn has a positive effect on the balance in our intestinal flora. They also contain a lot of fiber, which serves as food for our beneficial intestinal inhabitants.
Chilis contain capsaicin, which has very positive properties on blood sugar levels, blood clotting and the defense against free radicals.
Ginger is rich in secondary plant substances that actively support our immune system. It has an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, metabolism-regulating and anti-diabetic effect. It is particularly good for treating digestive problems, pain and colds. In addition, its intense flavor makes you feel full sooner.
Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in polyunsaturated fats. They also have an antioxidant effect.
Olivesöl are a natural source of fat and therefore an important source and store of energy. PHENOLIO rounds off the dish with its fresh, fruity and tangy flavor. It also has a very high content of polyphenols, which have a health-promoting, anti-inflammatory and protective effect.
Honey has been considered a natural remedy for thousands of years and is known for its effect against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Manuka honey is considered the best honey in the world – its high methylglyoxal content (MGO) makes it unique. In general, the darker the honey, the higher the pinostrobin content.
