Erb-Mix Daikon-Kimchi

The Erb Daikon-Kimchi mix is particularly healthy and covers many micronutrients, including the daily requirement of selenium and iodine.

Nutrient profile: According to GDA guidelines, one portion covers more than the average daily requirement of omega-3 fatty acids. Copper, iodine and selenium are also covered and the manganese requirement is over 90%. In terms of vitamins, this recipe provides you with enough thiamine (vitamin B1) and also provides over 50% of the daily requirement of the vitamins folate (folic acid), vitamin K and vitamin A. The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is 4:1, even better than the recommended ratio of 5:1. More on this under: Vegans often eat unhealthily. Avoidable nutritional errors.

Kimchi: This Korean vegetable preparation, usually made through lactic acid fermentation, is based on cabbage (traditionally Chinese cabbage) or radish (eg daikon radish). It is often available fermented and raw - its taste depends greatly on the method of preparation and its ingredients. Kimchi is best kept in the refrigerator; the longer you store kimchi, the more intense and sour its taste becomes.

Brazil nuts: The Brazil nut is often not raw, but blanched. In addition to a high protein and fat content, it also has a very high mineral content compared to other types of nuts, especially selenium, which is important for our bodies. By eating one to a maximum of four Brazil nuts from Bolivia per day, the daily selenium requirement can easily be covered. You can find out more in our recipe: " Daily selenium requirement (selenium): Brazil nut ".

Wakame: Is a brown seaweed with a slight sea taste and a lot of iodine and can be eaten raw or cooked. For more information about iodine and a comparison of different types of seaweed, see our nutritional information on iodine, I (iodine, J). By adding seaweed, as here with wakame, the daily iodine requirement can easily be covered if you do not use iodized table salt, but live in an iodine-poor area (many parts of Europe) and eat mainly locally. We use dried wakame, but only 1 g per person if we eat it daily.

Experiment with the ingredients: The composition presented here is designed so that, together with the Erb-Müesli, it covers the entire fiber requirement and the required amount of essential fatty acids in a very good ratio for one portion of the respective dishes. This combination also provides you with a variety of vitamins and minerals. For long-term variety, it is recommended that you experiment with the ingredient composition in order to create your own variations. Information on ingredients with a particularly high proportion of a certain nutrient and information on this nutrient can be found under the " Nutrients " section. A selection without information about the nutrient - but with a very large selection of ingredients - can be found under " Nutrient comparisons for ingredients ".

Alternatives for dipping: In addition to carrots, you can also use peppers ( red, yellow or green peppers), cucumbers or celery sticks (celery stalks) cut into pieces to make dipping sticks.

Type of kimchi: Depending on the type of kimchi - cabbage or radish as a base, spicy or mild, etc., the taste of the dish can be influenced.

Other ingredients: lettuce ( romaine lettuce, Batavia lettuce, lamb's lettuce orhead lettuce) or beetroot. Our tip: try out your own creations to change the taste and consistency to your liking.
