  • Semolina: Semolina is a nutritious grain product from wheat. Its high fiber content supports digestive health. Rich in B vitamins (especially folate), it aids energy production and cell regeneration. Iron content can help reduce anemia risk. With a relatively low glycemic index, it raises blood sugar more steadily. It pairs well with milk, fruits, nuts, honey, and cinnamon; used in desserts like halva, puddings, and some savory dishes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Pine Nut: Pine nuts are a nutritious nut rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, aiding satiety through pinolenic acid, which can assist in appetite control. A powerhouse of Vitamin E and antioxidants, they support skin health. Minerals like magnesium, iron, and zinc contribute to energy metabolism. They add a unique aroma and texture to dishes, particularly in pesto sauce, Mediterranean salads, spinach dishes, rice pilafs, and desserts.
  • 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.
  • Milk: Milk is rich in calcium and Vitamin D, supporting bone and teeth health. Its high-quality protein content is crucial for muscle development. B vitamins (B2, B12) contribute to energy metabolism and support nervous system health. It also contains components that strengthen the immune system. It pairs wonderfully with coffee, cereals, fruits, honey, or cocoa. It forms an indispensable base for many sweet and savory recipes.
  • Cinnamon Powder: Ground Cinnamon not only adds flavor to sweets but also stands out with its health benefits. It contains powerful compounds that help regulate blood sugar and, with its rich antioxidant structure, protects against cellular damage. Its anti-inflammatory effect and potential to balance cholesterol levels support heart health. It pairs wonderfully, especially with apples, honey, coffee, oatmeal, and cocoa, adding a warm and spicy depth to your recipes.
