The Food Culture of Greece

Known for having one of the healthiest culinary cultures in the world, Greece has served as a model for the Mediterranean diet. A hot, dry climate sets the tone for the Greek menu, which relies heavily on fresh food. Fishermen provide an array of seafood from the Mediterranean, and farmers cultivate lemons, eggplant, artichokes, and other fresh fruits and vegetables. Of course, you can't talk about Greek cuisine without mentioning olive oil, which is essential. Ancient Greece was known for having one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world, which could be traced back to the incredibly fresh and healthy diet.
