Ravioli Pasta:
Manti pasta is a fusion of traditional manti and pasta. The minced meat filling provides protein and B vitamins. The carbohydrates in pasta provide energy, while yogurt and garlic support the immune system. Mint and chili flakes aid digestion. When enriched with walnuts and butter, its nutritional value increases. Consuming it with a salad creates a balanced meal. You can personalize its flavor with different spices (curry, thyme).
Minced Meat:
Ground meat offers high-quality protein, essential heme iron, and vitamin B12. Heme iron aids in preventing anemia and supporting oxygen transport, while B12 is crucial for nervous system health and energy production. It pairs wonderfully with vegetables like onion, garlic, tomato, and parsley, boosting flavor and nutrition.
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.
