Greece, arguably, has the best climate for growing food on the planet. I never thought I would ever be able to consume a local source of:
5. Mastic – Resin harvested from the Mastic tree found only in Chios, Greece. We had Mastic chewing gum and Mastic ice cream!
4. Pomegranate – I feel bad eating them in America!
3. Octopus – Okay, maybe on the US coast but never in Kentucky!
2. Avocados – Delicious and very affordable!
and…
1. Bananas – Never in a million years did I think it possible!
“The Mediterranean Diet” = The Perfect Diet
