KETO INGREDIENTS LIBRARY
Ancient Wisdom meets modern science—building blocks of a keto lifestyle.
A Word from Chef Janine
Hello, dear friends!
I’m Chef Janine, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. Welcome to The Ingredient Almanac, your go-to resource for uncovering the mysteries behind the foods, nutrients, and building blocks that shape our health, our flavor experiences, and our everyday choices.
As a chef devoted to healing through food—especially through ketogenic principles—I believe we all deserve to understand what’s really going into our bodies, not just in clinical terms, but in a way that’s empowering, fun, and inspiring.
In this section, we’ll take a deep and fascinating dive into the world of ingredients:
🥑 What they are
🔬 How they work
🍳 Where they come from
🧠 Why they matter—especially for our brains, hormones, metabolism, and longevity
🍽️ How they show up in everyday foods and ketogenic living
🌱 How to source them cleanly and ethically
🎯 What science says about them, then and now
We’ll explore everything from vitamins and minerals to healthy fats, essential amino acids, natural sweeteners, and even the lesser-known flavor compounds that make your taste buds dance. Whether they’re whole foods or supplements, ancient discoveries or modern innovations, I’ll show you how these nutritional heroes play a role in your wellness journey—especially through the lens of the ketogenic lifestyle.
With fierce love and deep purpose,
Chef Janine Lechuga
