Of all the world’s cuisines, Greek food has been one of the most loved and sought after for generations! The one-of-a-kind spices and ingredients used in Greek dishes make them some of the most flavorful and mouth-watering available.
Let’s continue on and discuss just what makes Greek food so truly unique.
Greek Food is Remarkably Healthy
We all have our sweet tooth and guilty pleasure foods- the beauty of Greek food, however, is that it will not sacrifice health for flavor. Instead, Greek food is globally one of the healthiest cuisines. Greek food is rich in vitamins thanks to its use of vegetables, fruits, and fish. Even meat dishes utilize healthier sources of protein such as lamb as opposed to beef or pork.
Of course, no Greek dish is complete without olives! Olives are known to be rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants while olive oil is a much cleaner and healthier alternative to other cooking oils.
Greek Food is Fresh
Fresh versus processed ingredients can make all the difference in the world regarding food quality. Greek cooks take great pride in the use of only fresh, natural ingredients in their dishes. Fresh fish, vegetables, legumes, lamb, and more are staples in Greek dishes.
Fresh ingredients are the difference between authentic and imitation Greek food. Here at Yoleni’s, we are proud to use only the freshest Greek ingredients!
Greek Food is Rich in Flavor
We know how mouth-watering and delectable Greek food is, but where exactly does this flavor come from?
There is no short answer here, rather the unique flavor comes from blends of citruses, oils, herbs, cheeses, and grilled meat. This perfect blend has won the hearts of casual diners and food critics alike.
