Rotini with vegetables and a touch of ginger
This recipe is very simple to make, with a juicy result, delicate spicy notes and an irresistible flavor reminiscent of Asian cooking.
That's because its ingredients include ginger, a rhizome with a pungent aroma and flavor widely used in Asian cuisine, which gives dishes a warm, comforting touch, and does so in an exotic and delicious way.
Ginger is also an ingredient of high nutritional value, as it is rich in flavonoids, curcumin, vitamin C and vitamin B3 or niacin, boron, cobalt, chromium, phosphorus, manganese, silicon and zinc.
So, thanks to the combination of its ingredients, this dish is rich in beta-carotenes, amino acids, fiber, flavonoids, lycopene, carbohydrates, allicin, alliin, omega-9 fatty acids, essential oils, curcumin, vitamins A, C, E, K and B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9 or folic acid), sulfur, boron, calcium, cobalt, copper, chromium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, silicon, sodium, iodine and zinc.
