Studies of the Variability of Sugars, Vitamin C, and Chlorophylls in Differently Fermented Organic Leaves of Willowherb (<i>Chamerion angustifolium</i> (L.) Holub)

There is currently an increasing interest in functional foods and herbs as an opportunity to enrich one’s diet and at the same time improve one’s health. One of such plants is willowherb (<i>Chamerion angustifolium</i> (L.) Holub), which is rich not only in polyphenols, carotenoids, but...
