The term "aphrodisiac" derives from Aphrodite—the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire. In practice, many natural stimulating substances are common vegetables, herbs, and spices that we use daily to enhance our meals. Yet their significance extends far beyond culinary applications: for centuries, it has been believed that thoughtfully prepared dishes can awaken the senses and strengthen emotional bonds. The ancient proverb "the way to the heart is through the stomach" thus takes on an entirely new, deeper meaning when examining the scientific and cultural foundations behind these remarkable ingredients.
Aphrodisiacs
You can find them everywhere, you just have to know where to look for them. Some of them look like genitals, like asparagus or bananas. Others can be dangerous to health, like the Johnbins or the Spanish fly. Some were believed to have been discovered by the goddess Aphrodite, like oregano. Its incredible smell is said to have come from her breath. In ancient Greece, myrrh was also known.

Seafood contains plenty of zinc and omega acids, and very important minerals and vitamins for our bodies. Sea food stimulates our senses with an extraordinary, delicate flavor.
