A natural source of zinc and iron
All products Nutrigood mix combine the right mix of grains and legumes to provide a balanced intake of proteins and carbohydrates.
What makes our recipe special is the presence of zinc and iron, essential for proper metabolic function and especially important for vegans and vegetarians, as these nutrients may be lacking in their diet if not properly planned.
MEAL IDEAS
Due to different metabolic needs, men have a greater need for zinc, while women need more iron. To increase zinc content, it is possible to add pine nuts or hemp seeds to salads or vegetables and consume octopus, cuttlefish, or anchovies during the other main meal of the day. To increase iron levels, on the other hand, it is advisable to add foods such as whole wheat pasta, clams, green radicchio, or arugula. Finally, for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet, it may be helpful to add elements rich in vitamin C, such as lemon zest or chopped fresh chili pepper, or to accompany meals with water flavored with lemon juice.
