Vitamin C, for example, strengthens our immune system during the cold and strengthens connective tissue and bones. Iron ensures good oxygen transport in the body and folic acid supports the regeneration of cells. You can not expect more from a single type of salad. That he is also really delicious, is then the very special bonus of Mäuseöhrchensalats.
