Grape Leaves

A staple in Mediterranean cuisine, grape leaves are either picked fresh from grapevines or bought canned or jarred. These dark green vegetables are rich in vitamins and essential nutrients, and are considered a Greek delicacy.

Tip

If you’re using bottled leaves, rinse them off before use and remove some of the excess sodium.

Walnuts

Dating back to 7000 B.C., walnuts are the oldest tree food in our known history. Their nutty flavor is mild, yet complex, which balances really well with sweet ingredients. Walnuts are commonly served as pairings for wines and soft cheeses.
