The two key ingredients in this combination are protein and flaxseed oil. They make a great team in terms of both taste and health, as they have a particularly positive effect.
Flaxseed oil contains a very high percentage of omega-3, and quark is rich in sulfur-containing amino acids.
The negatively charged fatty acids and the positively charged amino acids attract each other and bind together to form a strong unit.
This protects the omega-3 fatty acids in the flaxseed oil from oxidation, allowing them to enter the human body largely unchanged and thus making them much more readily available to cells and cell membranes.
The quark, therefore, acts as a protector of omega-3.
Preparation:
Wash the herbs, dry them thoroughly, and chop them finely.
Mix the quark and flaxseed oil well, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the herbs.
Serving suggestion:
For an extra omega-3 boost, enjoy the flaxseed oil and herb quark with our omega-3 rolls, jacket potatoes, or vegetables!
