Potato provides carbohydrates, which are an energy substrate for the body, and high amounts of potassium. Potassium is a mineral very cleanser that will help to eliminate fluid retention. The salt that we add to the cream is not bad, but it will help balance the potassium in the body.
Rocket is a green leafy vegetable such as dandelion, which is characterized by containing many minerals and trace elements essential to the body (like all brassicas), plus vitamins (especially vitamin A and folic acid), and zeaxanthin and phytochemicals such as quercetin, potent natural antioxidants in cells.
Zucchini contains very little calories. they are diuretic for their contribution in potassium and high in fiber, especially if you eat with the skin. (To avoid pesticide residues, we recommend using organic vegetables and always wash vegetables before cooking)
Onion is the cleansing vegetable par excellence. It also provides natural sweetness to vegetable creams.

In short, a very nutritious dish that combines with a balanced diet very well.
