Fruity curry with peach
For 2 people
The peach is a fruit rich in water and nutrients and captivates with an intense aroma. They are therefore ideal flavor carriers in Ayurvedic cuisine. Peaches contain a lot of calcium, potassium and magnesium, as well as significant amounts of zinc, manganese and selenium, which we need for healthy skin and are indispensable in cell metabolism. Peaches provide us with these vitamins: vitamin A, vitamin C and B1, B2 and B3. Caratinoids have a significance as provitamin A and perform an important task as antioxidants. Also for caratinoids it is better to take them in combination with other food components than to take them in concentrated form as a food supplement.

100 ml sweet cream (30%)
