Red Radish:
Radishes not only add color to your salads but also aid liver detoxification thanks to their glucosinolate content. Their fiber content facilitates digestion, and vitamin C strengthens immunity. Radishes pair perfectly with butter, salt, and bread. They also add a refreshing flavor to salads with citrus dressings.
Carrot:
Carrots are renowned for their rich beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A, crucial for eye health (especially night vision) and skin regeneration. Their high fiber content aids digestion and promotes satiety. Potent antioxidants also protect cells. To maximize the absorption of their beneficial compounds, carrots are best consumed with healthy fats like olive oil. Versatile in both sweet and savory dishes, they pair wonderfully with fruits like apple, orange, and ginger, or in meat dishes.
Green Apple:
Green apple is rich in vitamins C & K, ample fiber (pectin), and powerful antioxidants (polyphenols). Its high fiber regulates digestion, supports gut flora, and helps stabilize blood sugar. Antioxidants protect against free radicals, acting as a shield for chronic disease prevention. The malic acid contributes to oral health. It pairs perfectly with cinnamon, ginger, mint, or lemon, and offers nutritious combinations with oats, yogurt, and nut butter. In savory dishes, especially with pork or chicken, it creates a refreshing balance.

It can be consumed with honey or apple cider vinegar to reduce the bitter taste. It pairs well with carrots and apples, especially in salads.
Olive Oil:
Olive oil, especially in its extra virgin form, is a powerful source of health benefits due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid). It supports heart health by helping to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL). With its anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces inflammation in the body, prevents cell damage, and provides protection against chronic diseases.

It provides vital electrolyte balance for the body's water regulation, nerve, and muscle functions. It pairs perfectly with spices, herbs, and oils, enriching the taste of every meal. An indispensable part of every table.
Grain Black Pepper:
