How healthy are the main ingredients?

Ricotta: This fresh cheese made from lean whey is one of the gratifyingly low-fat and low-calorie types of cheese and is, therefore, a good choice for people with elevated blood fat levels. Because ricotta is made from whey, people with sensitive stomachs and intestines usually tolerate it very well. However, if you are lactose intolerant, ricotta should be consumed with caution, as its lactose content can vary between 1-5 grams per 100 grams.

Yoghurt: Manufacturers of yoghurt and milk drinks advertise the health-promoting effects of special bacterial cultures, known as probiotics, which have health-promoting effects.

Buckwheat: the pseudo-cereal contains 10 percent high-quality protein. The grains contain the essential protein building material lysine, which is important for bone preservation. In addition, buckwheat contains abundant vitamin E and B1 or B2. Minerals such as potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium.

Lemons are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C has been shown to help fight colds and supports the absorption of iron.

Bee honey is free from fat and risky substances such as cholesterol or purines. In addition, bee honey contains abundant antioxidants, which make the honey so healthy. The antioxidants can, among other things, reduce the risk of stroke, protect against oxidative stress and also have a positive effect on vision.
