Certainly! Here’s a breakdown of the nutritional benefits of the ingredients in your recipe:

  1. Milk (400 ml):
  • Nutritional Benefits: Milk is a good source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamins like vitamin D (if fortified). It provides protein for muscle repair and growth and is essential for bone health.
  1. Zest of a Lemon:
  • Nutritional Benefits: Lemon zest contains essential oils and antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
  1. Vanilla Sugar (1 teaspoon):
  • Nutritional Benefits: Provides flavor without significant nutritional value. Use in moderation.
  1. Egg Yolks (2):
  • Nutritional Benefits: Egg yolks are rich in vitamins (A, D, E, K), essential fatty acids, and protein. They also contain choline, important for brain health and development.
  1. Sugar (40 g):
  • Nutritional Considerations: Provides energy but lacks significant nutrients. Use sparingly for sweetness.
  1. Cornstarch (15 g):
  • Nutritional Benefits: Primarily a thickening agent. It is gluten-free and adds texture but provides minimal nutritional value.
  1. Juice of a Lemon:
  • Nutritional Benefits: Contains vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting immune function and skin health.
  1. Condensed Milk (100 g):
  • Nutritional Benefits: Provides carbohydrates, protein, and fats. It is high in calories and sugars, so use in moderation.
  1. Optional for Decoration (Cinnamon, Cocoa Powder, Chocolate Chips):
  • Nutritional Benefits: Cinnamon has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Cocoa powder (unsweetened) contains flavonoids, which may have heart health benefits. Chocolate chips add flavor and texture but also add sugars and fats.
