Frequently asked questions

Which nutrients does cottage cheese provide?

Cottage cheese mainly contains protein, calcium, phosphorus and vitamin B12. Fat and salt content vary a little depending on the product.

What's in radishes besides the heat?

Radishes provide vitamin C, potassium and small amounts of folate. Their typical peppery heat comes from mustard oil glycosides and their breakdown products.

Is black pepper just flavour, or is there more to it?

Black pepper contains piperine, among other things, which is responsible for its typical aroma and heat. In this recipe it's simply there for flavour.

Do chives matter nutritionally?

Chives provide small amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K and plant compounds. As they're usually used sparingly, their contribution is a supporting one rather than a central one.
