Dear fellow food-lover,

We are happy to announce that both pregnancy and the Mediterranean Diet are featured in the newly released 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Learn why experts are recommending the Mediterranean Diet during pregnancy and lactation.

Happy cooking from the team at Oldways!

This super simple recipe combines delicious and nutrient-rich ingredients. The salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, and the avocado is full of heart-healthy unsaturated fats, and over 20 vitamins and minerals—including potassium and folate.

Toasted buckwheat has a nutty, almond-like texture that works great in granola. Since this recipe uses only a small amount of maple syrup for sweetener, we tossed in some dried apricots for an additional hint of natural sweetness.
