It is rich in vitamins, trace elements, minerals, fibres, enzymes and proteins.
Its antioxidant role is linked to its high concentration of chlorophyll, the must for an optimal cell regenerationfor theelimination of toxins and for its purifying power since it regulates the intestinal transit. In addition, it calms sugar cravings and improves the intestinal flora!
Use it sprinkled on your salads or soups or add it to your smoothies.
