Chef's tip
Salad Goodies are available in a variety of mixes: Mexican style, croutons and peppers, roasted sesame seeds and hazel nuts, mixed seeds or salted pumpkin seeds.
Sesame seeds are particularly rich in nutrients. Sunflower seeds have a lot of essential amino acids, fluoride, iron, copper, magnesium, B vitamins as well as vitamins A and E. Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of iron, phosphorus and zinc. Hazel nuts are rich in protein and have polyunsaturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and vitamin C.
Seasonal lettuces have a shorter transport route and have more flavour than lettuces grown outside their season.
Cold-pressed rapeseed oil is rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids and has a particularly high level of linolenic acid. One tablespoon of rapeseed oil provides a third of our recommended daily requirement of vitamin E.
