Greek cuisine is the cuisine of Greece and the Greek diaspora.[1][2][3][4][5] In common with many other cuisines of the Mediterranean, it is founded on the triad of wheat, olive oil, and wine.[6][7][8] It uses vegetables, olive oil, grains, fish, and meat, including pork, poultry, veal and beef, lamb, rabbit, and goat. Other important ingredients include[9][10] pasta (for example hilopites),[11][12][13] cheeses,[14][15][16] herbs, lemon juice,[17][18][19] olives and olive oil,[20][21][22] and yogurt. Bread made of wheat is ubiquitous; other grains, notably barley, are also used, especially for paximathia. Common dessert ingredients include nuts, honey, fruits, sesame, and filo pastries. It continues traditions from Ancient Greek and Byzantine cuisine,[23][24] while incorporating Asian, Turkish, Balkan, and Italian influences.[25][26][27][28][29][30]
