Cayenne:
Albanian Pepper is a type of chili known for its distinct pungency and aroma. Thanks to capsaicin, it boosts metabolism, offers pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects, and supports immunity with its antioxidant content. It pairs wonderfully with red meat, chicken, legumes, and yogurt-based appetizers. It also adds depth to breakfast items and tomato-based sauces.
Strained Yogurt:
Strained Yogurt is a thick, protein-rich dairy product obtained by removing its whey. Its high protein content is excellent for muscle development and sustained satiety. The straining process can lower lactose levels, potentially making it easier to digest for some. It's a good source of probiotics that support gut microbiota and calcium essential for strong bones. It pairs perfectly with garlic, olive oil, and fresh mint in savory appetizers, or with honey and fruits for breakfast or dessert.
