Recipe
Raw fung-immun carrot cake
The recipe for this delicious vegan carrot cake was dreamt up for Biotona by Ellen Charlotte Marie. It is a raw cake, since this makes it possible to retain all the goodness of its nutritious but heat-sensitive ingredients. For her recipe, she made used of Biotona Fung-Immun – and with good reason! This composite product combines the powders of four medicinal mushrooms, which are known for their ability to boost the body's natural resistance. This is something that all of us could benefit from at this time of year, so why not give it a try? Not only healthy, but delicious as well!
