This member of the mint family has been used as a medicinal plant, and its oils and extracts are said to have antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Fragrant fresh basil, for instance, offers a healthy dose of blood-clotting vitamin K -- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil provide 27% of the RDA -- as well as vitamin A, manganese, and magnesium. (You can find more vitamin K in green leafy veggies such as cabbage, cauliflower, kale, and spinach -- but talk to your doctor if you’re taking a blood thinner such as warfarin; you don’t want too much or too little K.

Tomatoes are also a good source of potassium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, and copper. Tomatoes also have dietary fiber and protein, as well as a number of organic compounds like lycopene that also contribute to the overall health benefits that tomatoes can confer to our health!

Cherry Tomatoes

Known for its unique aroma and its strong, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens with its cooking, garlic is one of the most popular ingredients in all cuisines. Some studies have shown that it has antibacterial and potential anticancer properties. Other investigations state that it may also help regulate blood pressure and make blood thinner, thus protecting the heart. So go ahead and spice up your life with garlic!

Grapeseed Oil 

Because of its antibacterial properties, pepper is also used to preserve food. It is a rich source of manganese, iron, potassium, vitamin-C, vitamin K, and dietary fiber. Black pepper is also a very good anti-inflammatory agent.

Ground Black Pepper

One cup of cooked Israeli couscous has 176 calories, 36 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. It's sugar- and fat-free and contains about 66% of the recommended daily dose of selenium. Whole wheat couscous is more nutritious that the regular variety. It's made from whole wheat durum flour

Also known as koshering salt, it is specially recognized because of its flake-like shape. Even though all three salts- sea, table and kosher- contain the same amount of sodium per gram, kosher salt yields less sodium per tablespoon because of its coarser grain. In other words, it enhances the flavor of each ingredient while protecting your heart from an excessive sodium intake!!

Kosher Salt

As a refreshing drink, lemonade helps you stay calm and cool. The health benefits of it are due to its many nourishing nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium while having no fat and therefore no cholesterol.  Unlike most animals, humans are not able to synthesize vitamin C, so it becomes a crucial dietary component. Also recognized as ascorbic acid, it is mostly known because of its antioxidant properties, but it also helps in the synthesis of collagen (growth and repair of connective tissue), the healing of wounds, and the functioning of the immune system. Vitamin C is also very important in a vegetarian diet as it helps absorb the iron in plant-based foods. Half a cup of lemon juice covers approximately a 77% of vitamin´s C daily recommendation. 

Lemon Juice

Lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself. To name a few: Vitamin C, Vitamin A, beta carotene, folate, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Lemon Zest

Onion powder is made from dehydrated onions, giving it a concentrated flavor that pairs well with many foods. Using onion powder when cooking offers health benefits because it contains some nutrients, but in small amounts, meaning you can't rely on it to meet your daily recommended totals.

Onion Powder

Soft, firm, or extra firm, Tofu (also known as bean curd) is made with soy milk and it has relatively low calories but plenty of healthy nutrients. It is a great source of vegetarian protein and iron so it is perfect for replacing or reducing meat in your favorite recipes. In just one serving it provides a nutritional punch: 10g of protein, 15% of the recommended daily value of iron and 1600mg of omega 6. Depending on the type, it may also have high calcium and or magnesium content. It also contains phytoestrogens as isoflavones (ISF) which studies tend to support its beneficial effects in the prevention of bone loss in postmenopausal women.  Clinical studies also show that ingestion of soy proteins might help to reduce LDL cholesterol and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease. So…replacing high-fat animal foods with tofu can be heart healthy!
