The Mediterranean diet is a style of eating that focuses on the consumption of whole, plant-based foods and healthy fats, while limiting red meat and processed foods. The diet is based on the traditional foods of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, including Greece, Italy, and Spain.

Mediterranean foods

Here are some examples of Mediterranean foods:

  • Olive oil: A staple of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is rich in healthy fats and antioxidants.
  • Fish: The Mediterranean diet includes a lot of seafood, such as salmon, sardines, and anchovies, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Fruits and vegetables: The diet is abundant in colorful, nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, and leafy greens.
  • Legumes: Chickpeas, lentils, and beans are often used in Mediterranean cooking.
  • Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and sunflower seeds are all common in Mediterranean cuisine.
  • Whole grains: The Mediterranean diet emphasizes whole grains, including breads, pasta, and cereals.
  • Herbs and spices: The cuisine is often seasoned with herbs and spices like garlic, basil, oregano, and cinnamon.
  • Cheese and yogurt: These foods are consumed in moderation in the Mediterranean diet, with an emphasis on low-fat or non-fat varieties.
