WHY MONTHLYFLAVORS?

1)HUMMUS (ATTICA)

A taste both familiar and exotic, which can transform a piece of bread or the most humble cracker into the most rich and delightful tasting experience. The origins of hummus can be traced back to Ancient Egypt. Apart from the wonderful and special taste of its basic ingredients (tahini, which is a paste made of sesame seeds, garlic and lemon), hummus is also rich in proteins, fibers, vitamins and minerals. It is ideal as a starter, spread on toasted pita bread and it can be enjoyed at all times of the day and all year round! 

2)CORINTHIAN CURRANT (NEMEA)

Black Corinthian currants are considered Greece’s «black gold» because during the first years of the newly found Greek nation in the 19th century, they were the main export product which helped sustain the Greek economy. In ancient times currants were offered to gods, they were prescribed as a medicine for various illnesses, they were even used as money. Today currants are considered as a “superfood”; they reinforce the nervous and digestive systems, they have anticancer, antibacterial and antimicrobial use. Also, they help control the blood pressure and reduce cholesterol. And they taste like little bits of heaven!

3)ORIENTAL SALT (MESSOLONGHI)

Salt is more than just an ingredient that adds flavour enhances taste; it forms part of our body and it is necessary for its good function. It is mistakenly feared by many, because in the modern way of eating we consume large quantities of salt within the various products we eat. But when used moderately, salt is beneficial as it helps transfer nutrients into the cells, and regulate blood pressure. Sodium bears energy and it helps transfer messages from the brain to the muscles. It also facilitates the absorption of nutrients like glucose and amino acids. Here it is combined with garlic and oriental spices of great quality, and it will give a great flavour to your dishes.
