Garlic is a pantry staple. We tout the proven health benefits a clove or two can offer. It can combat flu and colds, support your heart and cardiovascular system, while also adding flavor to your dishes by always keeping garlic on hand. 

Like Garlic, Sea Salt not only adds essential minerals to any meal, but it also enhances the flavor. This spice often gets a bad rap as it’s known to raise blood pressure. But when used in moderation, this tasty addition may reduce fluid retention and improve digestion.

Mushrooms are a quick and easy way to add a smidge of protein, a burst of flavor, and a sweet savoriness to any dish.
