Khyati's Health-O-Meter Says:

This traditional Indonesian salad is an unusual combination of cool and spicy ingredients. Gado- Gado is rich in essential nutrients like carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins and also fibre. The protein in Gado-Gado mainly comes from bean sprouts. This dish has important nutrients needed by the body to build up, repair, and replace the tissues in our bodies. The fat comes mostly from the peanut sauce. The rest of the ingredients to make Gado-Gado are vegetables, which are rich sources of vitamins and fibres. Fibre helps the body with bowel function and helps prevent heart disease.
