  • Stale Bread: Stale bread is a valuable ingredient with a lower glycemic index than fresh bread. Starch retrogradation ensures slower blood sugar rise, prolonged satiety, and fiber for digestive health. It's budget-friendly and prevents waste. Ideal as croutons in soups, a binder in meatballs, or in desserts (e.g., bread pudding). It pairs well with dairy, spices, and vegetables.
  • Chicken Meat: Chicken meat is an excellent source of high-quality, lean protein, crucial for muscle development and repair. It is particularly rich in B vitamins like B3, B6, and B12, contributing to energy production and nervous system health. Its selenium content provides strong antioxidant support, while phosphorus is critical for bone and dental health. Zinc further aids the immune system. It pairs wonderfully with various vegetables, rice, bulgur, and herbs such as basil and thyme, offering nutritious and delicious meals.
  • Chicken Broth: Chicken broth, rich in collagen, supports joint health, enhances skin elasticity, and strengthens the intestinal barrier, improving digestion. Amino acids like glycine and proline support the immune system and help reduce inflammation. It also contains beneficial components for cartilage structure.

Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
