HEALTH & BENEFITS

Scallops or chicken is an excellent source of lean protein, and the horseradish adds an extra zing to the dish. The dish is rich in vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, zinc, and potassium. Maple syrup is lower on the glycemic index than regular sugar, so it won’t cause a blood sugar spike as occurs with refined sugar.
