For example, the cambur contains three natural sugars: sucrose, fructose and glucose. In addition also fiber and vitamins therefore, increases energy levels immediately, sustained and substantial, so we see how athletes and great athletes consume it during or at the end of their practice or competition.

3. Contains high potassium and low in salt, so it helps control blood pressure levels, as well as decreases the hangover, normalizes the heart rate which sends oxygen to the brain.
4. Helps control cravings (against anxiety), gastritis and constipation. Eating cambur on a regular basis allows a much healthier digestive system. Far from diseases such as ulcers, constant acidity that can lead to gastritis.

The cambur has pectin, one of the most potent antioxidants that exists and therefore allows better digestion and reduce the presence of free radicals in the liver. By having a better digestion you will not feel heartburn, or gas, and, of course, you will not have to worry about gastritis.

N ° 1: Caramelized Cambur
You need:

2 mature Cambures
1 Cup of Granulated Sugar (it does not matter if Blanca or brunette)
Cinnamon to taste)
2 tablespoons of Butter

Preparation:

Start by placing a nonstick skillet to heat (medium heat), then add the butter so that it melts and so you can place the peeled cambers (they can be whole or if you prefer cut in half crosswise), until they brown in the butter, if you need to add a little more butter it is no problem with this.

¼ Kg of striped Mozarella cheese (to gratinate)
Vanilla essence (to taste)

To begin, peel the slices, cut into slices and fry until golden brown. When the slices are ready, they are placed on a napkin or absorbent paper to release a little oil (if desired).

On the other hand I mix milk, eggs, cinnamon, flour, sugar and vanilla essence in the blender until the mixture is homogeneous. Besides, the sandwich is chopped into strips.
Now assemble the cake placing in a container smeared with butter and a breeze of sugar and flour (so that it does not stick and a rich edge is left) a bottom (or bed) of the mixture, then a layer of slices is placed and over they put the semi-hard cheese and the sandwich. Then it is covered with another layer of the mixture and so on until it completes ... always leaving a layer of mixture between the slices of cambur with cheese and sandwich.
