Dieta Mediterrània

Dieta mediterrània és un terme que designa un tipus de dieta que des de fa segles pauta tradicionalment l'alimentació dels països banyats per la Mediterrània i que es basa en el consum de verdures, llegums, fruites, peix, i d'oli d'oliva com a greix essencial, també inclou sovint el vi.

El 16 de novembre de 2010, el Comitè Intergovernamental per a la Salvaguarda del Patrimoni Cultura Immaterial de la Humanitat la va declarar Patrimoni Immaterial de la Humanitat de la Unesco sota la denominació «La dieta mediterrània»

The Mediterranean diet is a diet inspired by the eating habits of Greece, Southern Italy, and Spain in the 1940s and 1950s.[2] The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, and vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of non-fish meat products

In 2013, UNESCO added the Mediterranean diet to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It was chosen because "The Mediterranean diet involves a set of skills, knowledge, rituals, symbols and traditions concerning crops, harvesting, fishing, animal husbandry, conservation, processing, cooking, and particularly the sharing and consumption of food."
