Last time, we were talking about the different nuts and seeds which can usually be found in my kitchen. Today let’s talk about condiments. I will not describe the benefits of all of them as it can be found anywhere, however, I would like to show you how I use them. Just keep in mind that this is my standard shopping list, of course, sometimes I buy additional items as well, depending on my needs. I am curious if my shopping list is similar to yours. Leave your must-haves in the comments. Also check out my previous posts about Fruits & Vegetables, Dairy & Coconut Products, Seafood & Meat and Nuts & Seeds.
In this blog post we will talk only about condiments. In the previous and following posts you can learn more about the rest of my items. Each item on the list will include my own recipes with the selected item. I hope it will help you a lot!
We have a big place for our spices. Since I have started getting more knowledge about nutritions, I realised how important spices are. Check out my list below.
I cannot really feel its taste but it has anti-inflammatory properties, it can balance your cholesterol level and can help you to metabolise fat.
Turmeric is added to all dishes in my kitchen. I mix it with eggs, meat and vegetables.
It is a great source of minerals. It helps to balance blood sugar, electrolytes and hydration.
I add a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to the water, coffee and meals.
It has a lot of anti-oxidant properties. It improves the stomach’s digestion, especially proteins from food.
I add it to all meals, I don’t think that will surprise you 🙂
It has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. It has vitamin C and is good for the immune system. It increases fat burning and metabolism.
I love spicy food so I add chilli to all my meals.
It just tastes soooo good!
I love curry so much and I usually use curry powder for chicken curry, vegetable curry or salmon curry.
It has anti-inflammatory properties and it lowers your blood sugar. I just love cinnamon so much!
I add it to every single sweet! I just love it, sorry!
I am lacking in potassium which mainly comes from carbs and I don’t eat carbs. Cream of tartar is my source of potassium. For every 100 grams of cream of tartar, you will get a total of 16 500 milligrams of potassium and your daily requirement for potassium is 7 000 milligrams a day.
I add it to my coffee and water, just 1 teaspoon.
It mainly helps with the digestion of food, it makes the stomach ready for intake.
I add 2 teaspoons of apple cider to the water and meals.
Just for my baking goods. I am really careful with baking soda as it is still a chemical product, but I always have it for my baking needs.
Just be careful with baking soda as it is much stronger than baking powder.
Dark chocolate is great. It is full of healthy fat and a good source of iron.
I usually use dark chocolate in my baking goods and with fat bombs.
It is good source of iron and other minerals.
My baking wouldn’t be the same without cacao powder. Again, most of my sweets include cacao powder.
That’s pretty much my shopping list with condiments and I can honestly say it is exactly what we buy every time we go to the store, if we are talking about condiments. I have been asked so many times what I usually buy and I hope this list will help you with the introduction to a healthy keto diet. Share your list in the comment section! Check out my previous posts with Fruits & Vegetables, Dairy & Coconut Products, Seafood & Meat and Nuts & Seeds. The next shopping list is about drinks and supplements, see you soon!
