  • Wheat Starch: Wheat starch is a rapidly and easily digestible energy source, ideal for athletes and those needing quick glucose replenishment. Its light texture makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive digestive systems, as it doesn't strain the stomach. It can indirectly contribute to digestive health as resistant starch. Pairing well with fruits, dairy products, chocolate, vanilla, and spices, this starch adds consistency and structure to a wide range of dishes, from desserts to sauces.
  • Rose Water: Rose water is known not only for its pleasant fragrance but also for its benefits to skin health. Thanks to its antioxidant content, it protects the skin from free radicals and delays the signs of aging. It reduces redness and irritation on the skin, moisturizes and revitalizes. It can also be used as a makeup remover and toner. Rose water enhances its effect, especially when used with moisturizers such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid. It is also used as a sweetener in some recipes.
  • Water: Water is the foundation of life and indispensable for bodily functions. Its main roles include transporting nutrients and oxygen to cells, eliminating metabolic waste through the kidneys, and regulating body temperature. It is essential for joint health, organ protection, and maintaining cellular functions. Dehydration leads to low energy and kidney issues. When consumed with fibrous fruits and vegetables, water aids digestion. It forms a good combination with mineral water or herbal teas for electrolyte balance.
  • Granulated Sugar: Granulated sugar is one of the body's primary energy sources. It provides rapid glucose for the brain and muscles, meeting immediate energy demands. It can quickly help stabilize energy levels after intense physical activity or when feeling fatigued. Additionally, it may contribute to short-term serotonin release, which can improve mood. It is commonly used as a flavor balancer in numerous recipes, including coffee, tea, desserts, and fruit salads.

  • Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar, also known as confectioners' sugar, is finely ground granulated sugar with a touch of cornstarch to prevent caking. As a rapid energy source, it provides instant fuel for the body. Used as a sweetener, it can indirectly aid consumption of less appealing but nutritious foods (e.g., plain yogurt). It pairs wonderfully with fruits, dairy, and cocoa.
