Abstract: | In the context of the EURRECA project (EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned), we have estimated the micronutrient
content of traditional Greek foods in relation to international recommendations. Many of these foods showed a rich micronutrient
profile and a file was developed listing a total of 137 traditional Greek foods and dishes. This work indicates that in order
to meet micronutrient requirements, a simple solution would be to adhere to traditional dietary patterns, at least for the
Mediterranean populations, and reinstate traditional foods into the daily diet. |
