Eating one tablespoon a day regularly helps during the cold season. It is ideal for people doing mental work. It is suitable for children from the age of 3 in small portions. It contains plenty of iron and potassium.

Stored in a glass jar with a lid in the refrigerator, it keeps for up to 30 days. The less moisture in the mixture, the longer the shelf life. Write the preparation date on the jar.

It is best to use it within the first 2 weeks.

People with allergies can test it with 1/4 teaspoon first.
