Whole grains have shaped Mediterranean cuisine for centuries. Until the late 19th century, Mediterranean people ate grains in their whole grain form, as it was too expensive and labor intensive to remove the nutritious bran and germ. In the decades that followed, nutrition experts began to understand that a cuisine based around whole grains has tremendous health benefits.  Happy cooking from the team at Oldways!

Mediterranean Whole Grains Although wheat—along with grapes and olives—is part of the “trinity” of the Mediterranean Diet, there are a wide variety of delicious whole grains to be found throughout the Mediterranean region. Join us on a tour of Mediterranean whole grains and delight in the foods and flavors that await!
