  • Cocoa Hazelnut Cream: Hazelnut cocoa spread is an energy booster, protecting cells with its Vitamin E content and supporting heart health with the healthy fats of hazelnuts. A breakfast and dessert staple! Pairs perfectly with bananas, strawberries, or crepes.
  • 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.
  • Starch: Starch, a primary carbohydrate stored in plants, is the body's main energy source. Its slow-digesting nature provides sustained satiety and balanced energy. Particularly, resistant starch nourishes gut flora, supporting digestive health, regulating blood sugar, and aiding mineral absorption. In the kitchen, it's used to thicken sauces, add structure to baked goods, and bind various dishes. It's a versatile ingredient that pairs well with milk, fruits, vegetables, and protein sources.
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
