Why this category matters at the Lebanese table
Heavy meals, white bread and too little fibre — the Lebanese stomach complains a lot. Clove, yarrow and tannins are familiar ingredients in the region’s folk tradition, and a supplement organises taking them next to a lighter plate.
Nutrition tips that complete the supplement
- Yoghurt, kishk and home-made pickles are traditional sources of friendly bacteria.
- Fibre every day: vegetables, pulses and whole-wheat bread.
- Do not eat standing up or in a hurry — chewing well is half of digestion.
- Water between meals, not with them.
