Notes

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Flour: provides B vitamins (thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and folate), which are important for energy metabolism and the functioning of the nervous system.

Brewer’s yeast: improves metabolism and helps strengthen the immune system

Buffalo mozzarella: one of the few cheeses that can be included in a low-calorie diet (if not seasoned with oil), low-sodium (therefore against hypertension) and against hypercholesterolemia. Also rich in lactic flora. The presence of tryptophan helps to counteract depression

Extra virgin olive oil: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids

Oregano: provides antioxidants and vitamin E that are conducive to the proper functioning of the immune system

Tomato: rich in vitamin C, the antioxidant par excellence that fights free radicals and supports the immune system, and provides mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. Especially if consumed with the peel, it provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Salt: essential for the balance of body fluids and for the transmission of nerve impulses, it is however to be consumed respecting the limit of 5 g per day according to the indications of the WHO so as not to promote arterial hypertension and consequent increase in the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases starting from myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke; to be limited as much as possible in the case of nephropathy.
