3. It's a rich source of dietary fiber

A mixture of mustard in 100 g contains an average of 710 g of dietary fiber. Food fiber is carbohydrates that are not digested in the body. They are a food for the gut microflora. Fiber increases the removal of toxins, cholesterol, triglycerides and excess bile acids from the body. It also reduces the caloric content of the diet and provides a feeling of satiety through digestion in the intestines.

Cucumbers are a great source of vitamins and minerals. Of course, it depends on their composition. The most common ingredients in the mixture are: oatmeal, which is a high-calorie nutrient-dense product. They are a source of B B1, B2, B3, B6, folic acid, and vitamin E. They also contain mineral ingredients such as zinc, calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium. In addition, they contain beta-glucans, which lower blood cholesterol levels; fatty acids, which are primarily sources of polyunsaturated fatty acid compounds and magnesium, and are also important in the metabolism of bone marrow.
