  • Brussels Sprouts: Brussels sprouts, despite their small size, offer significant benefits. They are particularly rich in Vitamin K, crucial for bone health, and Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant. Compounds like sulforaphane present in them have potential cancer-protective properties, while their high fiber content supports the digestive system and promotes satiety. To enhance their flavor, they can be roasted until caramelized or sautéed; they pair excellently with bacon, chestnuts, garlic, lemon juice, and balsamic glaze.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: Worcestershire Sauce boasts a complex flavor from fermented anchovies, tamarind, vinegar, and a special blend of spices. Thanks to omega-3 fatty acids from anchovies and antioxidants from its spices, it offers components that can support digestion and contribute to overall health. It notably enhances the flavor of red meats, grilled chicken, soups, cocktails like Bloody Mary, and marinades; it also adds a unique touch to salad dressings.
  • Egg Yolk: Egg yolk is rich in protein, choline (critical for brain and liver health), vitamins D and A, and powerful antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. It notably supports eye health, contributes to bone development, and strengthens cognitive functions. Its healthy fat content provides a sense of satiety. It's an excellent binder and flavor enhancer in savory sauces like béchamel, mayonnaise, and Hollandaise, as well as in sweet applications like pastry creams.
  • Garlic: Garlic, thanks to its allicin compound, offers strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can boost the immune system, increasing resistance against illnesses. Furthermore, it contributes to cardiovascular health by helping regulate blood pressure and balance cholesterol levels. Widely used in traditional medicine, garlic is also known for its digestive support effects. An indispensable ingredient in meat dishes, vegetable sautés, and Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with herbs like rosemary and thyme.

  • Lemon Juice: Lemon juice, rich in Vitamin C, boosts immunity and supports collagen synthesis for skin health. Its citrate content may help prevent kidney stone formation. A natural antioxidant, it reduces inflammation. It aids digestion by stimulating liver bile production. Added to water, it offers a detoxifying effect. Pairs perfectly with fish, chicken, salads, soups, marinades, and desserts, adding a refreshing and flavorful touch.
  • Parsley: Parsley is a powerful antioxidant source that supports bone health and plays a crucial role in blood clotting due to its Vitamin K content. Its Vitamin C content strengthens immunity. Rich in flavonoids like apigenin, it can help reduce inflammation. It is also a natural diuretic. It pairs perfectly with lemon, garlic, and olive oil; adding a refreshing flavor to fish, chicken, soups, and salads.
  • Cheese: Cheese is a nutritious food rich in high-quality protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, A, and K2. Especially Vitamin K2 contributes to bone health and arterial flexibility, while some fermented cheeses contain probiotics that support gut flora. Cheese pairs perfectly with flavors like fresh fruits, walnuts, honey, and olives, and can be used in a wide range of dishes from salads to sandwiches and main courses.
  • Sardine: Sardines are not only delicious but also a nutritional powerhouse. They are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and calcium. They support bone health and contribute positively to heart and brain functions. Consuming them with their bones especially boosts calcium intake. They pair perfectly with lemon, olive oil, and fresh herbs.
  • 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 supports the digestive system and contributes to skin health. An indispensable part of Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with salads, vegetable dishes, fish, legumes, and fresh bread.
  • Coriander: Cilantro is not just a delicious spice but also a plant with beneficial properties for the body. It is high in antioxidants and can help remove heavy metals from the body. It particularly soothes the digestive system and reduces gas and bloating. Cilantro pairs perfectly with ingredients such as lemon, avocado, onion, and garlic. It is frequently used in guacamole, salsa, and Asian cuisine.
  • Ground White Pepper: White Pepper Powder offers a milder, earthier, and subtly citrusy flavor compared to black pepper. Thanks to its piperine content, it aids digestion and enhances the bioavailability of other nutrients, improving their absorption. It's also known for its antioxidant properties. It pairs excellently with creamy sauces, potato dishes, white meats, and soups, adding flavor without altering the dish's color.
  • Ground Paprika: Paprika powder not only adds color and flavor, but is also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that support the immune system. It can help boost metabolism. It pairs well with thyme, garlic, and onion, especially in meat, chicken, and egg dishes.
  • Raisins: Raisins support bone health with potassium and boron minerals, also contributing to electrolyte balance.
