Health Benefits

The freshness of Greek food is tied to its health benefits – they take pride in their ingredients. To start off, the convenience of Greek’s location includes the plethora of native spices like oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and sage. If it’s grown in the country, you could assume that it’s healthier. Greece is also surrounded by four seas. That gives the country opportunities to gather fresh seafood off its coasts. Eating fresh, unfrozen, unprocessed foods will make your body feel even better, which is a great excuse to eat Greek. 

 

Vegetarian Options

There are a number of dishes made almost entirely of plant-based foods, one of the most popular trends that have taken the restaurant world by storm. For Greek communities, eating vegetarian isn’t hard. In addition to that, since seafood is a common ingredient in the Greek diet, pescatarians can find fresh dishes perfect for their diet. No matter your preference, Greece has an endless list of delicious and traditional meals that can satisfy your hunger while also connecting you with Greek roots. 

 

Appetizers 

Known in Greek as “mezes”, appetizers are light refreshments that were historically served in the late afternoon. For Greek families, appetizers are one of the more popular courses. The US does have appetizers as well but it seems like they aren’t quite as common as those in Greece and Mediterranean neighborhoods. When you travel to your local Greek restaurant, make sure to indulge in the mezes, one of the most unique and popular courses for Mediterranean groups.
