Celery:
Celery, low in calories, excels with its high fiber content supporting digestive health. It's rich in potassium, vitamin K, and folate.

With its fresh, mild flavor, it pairs perfectly with apples, carrots, yogurt dips, chicken, and fish. It also adds a refreshing touch to soups and salads.

Oranges are a powerful Vitamin C source, bolstering the immune system and boosting skin health through collagen synthesis. Their high fiber content aids digestion, while abundant antioxidants shield cells from free radical damage. They pair excellently with olive oil, fresh mint or basil in salads, and create a delightful match with dark chocolate in desserts.
Shallot:
Shallots, with their sweet and subtly pungent flavor, are a culinary staple. Rich in antioxidants (especially quercetin), they can support heart health and help regulate blood sugar levels. Their potassium and sulfur compounds are beneficial for the circulatory system. They pair perfectly with salad dressings, marinated meats, fish dishes, and delicate sautéed vegetables. Frequently used in French cuisine.
Lemon:
Lemon is a citrus fruit rich in Vitamin C, supporting the immune system and acting as a powerful antioxidant.

Furthermore, it benefits skin health and may help prevent kidney stone formation. It pairs well with honey, ginger, mint, or olive oil.
Flour:
Flour is a fundamental foodstuff obtained by grinding grains. It provides our body with a long-lasting energy source, especially through complex carbohydrates. Varieties like whole wheat flour, thanks to their high fiber content, support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. It also contains essential B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B9) and important minerals such as iron and magnesium, which are crucial for nervous system functions, energy production, and blood formation. It is versatile in the kitchen; forming the base for baked goods like bread and pastries when combined with milk, eggs, and yeast, while also being used to thicken sauces or create harmonious flavors with vegetables.
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.
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.
Dill:
Dill is an aromatic herb frequently used in kitchens, rich in vitamins A and C, and various minerals. It is known for its digestive support, carminative (gas-reducing), and antioxidant properties. It also contains calcium, which can contribute to bone health. It adds a fresh touch to salads, cacık (yogurt dip), olive oil dishes, and fish meals.
Currants:
Currants, rich in potent antioxidants and fiber, stand out. They are especially abundant in iron, potassium, and calcium.

Pine nuts are a nutritious nut rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, aiding satiety through pinolenic acid, which can assist in appetite control.
