The beauty of the Cretan diet is its simplicity; fresh, natural and pure. No fancy sauces or preparations.
Mix fresh fruit and nuts and vegetables, plenty of olive oil and very little meat. Less sugar and saturated fats. A wine or two. Some raki. Sounds good!
Proudly, Crete has one of the highest registrations of organic produce in all of Greece, which is a wonderful way of continuing land practices unchanged over hundreds of years and ensuring healthy eating and a healthy planet.
After winter rains, horta flourishes, and grannies are busy out in the country lanes with their bags collecting the lush wild greens. There are actually many different types of horta...getting to know them and how to cook them is one of the pleasures of life in the country of Crete, learning about Cretan food.
