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.
Butter:
Butter is a rich, flavorful fat derived from milk. It contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K2, along with healthy fatty acids, serving as an energy source. It's easily digestible. Butter enhances the taste of meals and rice dishes, is spread on bread, or used in sauces. It's indispensable for breakfast tables and various recipes.
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.
Vanilla:
Derived from the orchid family, vanilla is a unique spice that adds depth to desserts. Thanks to its vanillin content, it's a potent antioxidant source, helping prevent cell damage. Known for its calming and mood-enhancing effects, it can contribute to stress reduction. It is also believed to possess anti-inflammatory properties. Vanilla pairs perfectly with chocolate, coffee, caramel, fruits, and dairy products, enriching their flavors.
Liquid Oil:
Liquid oils (sunflower, olive, etc.) are essential kitchen ingredients that add flavor to dishes and contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
