Dr Sarah Says...

Both the orange and the carrot are good sources of betacarotene, a vitamin important for the immune system. The wild rice in this dish has a low GI(glycaemic index) which means the energy is released slowly into the blood stream helping to prevent spikes in blood sugar and regulate appetite.
