Nutritionist Nagham Tannous explained in an interview with "Annahar" that one of the main characteristics of the pantry is that its foods are prepared seasonally, allowing for the use of minimal pesticides during plant cultivation. In most cases, its ingredients are local and clean and are not subjected to manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the pantry relies heavily on herbs, spices, citrus fruits, and natural ingredients that give food its flavor and aroma without the need for artificial flavorings. It also relies on plant-based foods, and we encourage the consumption of plant-based foods because they are beneficial for health, heart and artery health, and gut health. The methods used to preserve pantry foods are often natural, eliminating the need for excessive preservatives.
