HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Italian Calzone Rollups are not particularly healthy, they are a good source of protein and calcium from the meats and cheese.
Tomato-based sauces like marinara may also offer some health benefits as they contain antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
