Now that weâre about halfway through May, we are excited to see that many of you have been trying out the Mediterranean Table Challenge activities, and we hope youâre having fun with them so far!
The 15th activity out of the 31, is a selfless one! To donate something to a food pantry if you can; some ideas include whole grains, canned seafood or canned beans. Anything counts!
Sharing food with others â even if they donât sit at your table â is acting in the spirit of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

At its heart, the Mediterranean diet is a family-centered eating pattern that people of all ages can partake in. Research shows that eating a Mediterranean diet during pregnancy is linked with beneficial outcomes for babies, including improved neurodevelopment. Once your little one has arrived and is ready to start weaning, the Mediterranean diet is a wonderful jumping off point to steer you towards nutritious foods that can help establish lifelong habits of healthy eating and cultivate a jovial atmosphere of positive dining experiences.

Happy #aapiheritagemonth! Like the traditional Mediterranean diet, the traditional Asian diet is built upon a base of healthy whole grain, buttressed by leafy green vegetables and soybeans, small amounts of fish and meat, bounteous spices and herbs â all tied together with healthy soy and peanut oils.
While the geographic scope is wide and the dishes and specific foods of Asian cuisines vary, it is the pattern that is similar. This is the reason it is effective to use the Pyramid as a dietary guide. Despite their diïŹerences, almost all traditional Asian diets share a common eating pattern of vegetables, strong spices, rice and noodles, tofu and soy products, and seafood in coastal communities. Vegetarian traditions are strong in many Asian countries, with pulses and whole grains such as millet and barley, all enlivened with soy sauce, fermented ïŹsh sauce, or various spicy condiments.
