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.
Veal Cubes:
Diced beef is a rich source of high-quality protein, especially iron (critical for blood formation), zinc (immune support), and B vitamins (metabolic functions). It contributes to muscle development and energy production. It typically pairs excellently with vegetables like onions, peppers, tomatoes, and spices such as thyme and cumin.
Dry Onion:
Dry onion is a kitchen staple and a powerful antioxidant source. Its quercetin content helps protect the body against free radicals, reduces inflammation, and may support heart health. Rich in Vitamins C and B6, and manganese, it strengthens the immune system. Its prebiotic fibers contribute to digestive health. It is widely used in dishes ranging from meat dishes to vegetable sautés, pilafs, and soups. It pairs perfectly with garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and red meat.
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.
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.
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.
Tomato Paste:
Tomato Paste is a concentrated source of lycopene, a potent antioxidant whose bioavailability increases when heated. This property supports heart health and may help reduce the risk of certain cancers, particularly prostate cancer. It also contains Vitamin K and potassium. Its absorption is enhanced when consumed with olive oil. It pairs perfectly with onions, garlic, red meat, and legumes, adding depth and umami to dishes.
Cayenne:
Albanian Pepper is a type of chili known for its distinct pungency and aroma. Thanks to capsaicin, it boosts metabolism, offers pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects, and supports immunity with its antioxidant content.
