Greek cuisine information


Greek cuisine is the cuisine of Greece and the Greek diaspora.[1][2][3][4][5] In common with many other cuisines of the Mediterranean, it is founded on the triad of wheat, olive oil, and wine.[6][7][8] It uses vegetables, olive oil, grains, fish, and meat, including pork, poultry, veal and beef, lamb, rabbit, and goat. Other important ingredients include[9] pasta (for example hilopites), cheeses,[10][11] lemon juice, herbs, olives and olive oil,[12][13] and yogurt. Bread made of wheat is ubiquitous; other grains, notably barley, are also used, especially for paximathia. Common dessert ingredients include nuts, honey, fruits, sesame, and filo pastries. It continues traditions from Ancient Greek and Byzantine cuisine,[14][15] while incorporating Turkish, Balkan, and Italian influences.[16][17][18][19][20]
