Chicken Leg:
Chicken thigh offers high-quality protein for muscle development. With B6 and B12 vitamins, it supports energy metabolism and contributes to nervous system health. While containing less saturated fat than red meat, it strengthens immunity with iron and zinc. Its collagen content is particularly beneficial for skin and joint health. It pairs wonderfully with vegetables like potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and herbs such as thyme and garlic.
Potatoes:
Potatoes are a rich source of complex carbohydrates providing energy, Vitamin C, and potassium. Their fiber content contributes to digestive health and provides a feeling of satiety. Potassium, vital for regulating blood pressure, makes them important for overall body functions. They pair well with meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, and many vegetables, suitable for various cooking methods like baking, boiling, frying, and mashing.
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.
Pea:
Peas, with their high fiber content, support digestion. Rich in folate (B9), vitamin K, and protein, they contribute to heart health and play a crucial role in blood clotting. Thanks to their lutein and zeaxanthin content, they are beneficial for eye health. They can be consumed fresh, frozen, or canned. They pair perfectly with ingredients like mint, dill, carrots, chicken, and rice. Can be used in salads, soups, or main dishes.
Yogurt:
Yogurt, a fermented milk product, supports the digestive system and helps balance gut flora due to its rich probiotic content. This contributes to strengthening the immune system. It is also a high-quality source of protein and calcium, important for bone health and muscle development. With its slightly sour taste, it pairs perfectly with fruits, granola, or honey for breakfast. In main dishes, it adds flavor as the main component of cacık or various mezzes.
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.
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.
Powdered Red Pepper:
Ground Red Pepper, due to its capsaicin content, can boost metabolism and aid in fat burning. Rich in powerful antioxidants and Vitamin C, it may exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. It adds flavor to a wide range of dishes, from legumes and meat to soups and vegetable-based delights.
Rosemary:
Rosemary, with its potent antioxidants (rosmarinic acid) and anti-inflammatory properties, supports brain health, potentially boosting memory and concentration. It aids digestion, can help alleviate muscle pain, and contributes to strengthening immunity. It pairs exceptionally well with lamb, chicken, potatoes, and root vegetables. It forms a fantastic duo with garlic, lemon, and thyme.
