Fresh fruit, vegetables, fresh fish and seafood with lots
of starches make up the majority of the Lebanese diet.
Typically animal fats are consumed sparingly while poultry
is eaten more often than red meat ( good news for those
wishing to reduce their red meat…think tasty new diet slot).
Garlic and olive oil are used in huge amounts, and rarely
is any other ingredient used in most meals there.
Food is fried with olive oil, and butter and cream are
generously prevalent. For veggie lovers, veggies are eaten
often raw or pickled as well as cooked. Manna indeed!
