The eating habits of our ancestors

At Thigaterra we believe that the knowledge of the nutritional history of our country is one of the main pillars of the gastronomic culture that each country has.

In Greece, we are lucky since we have such a great wealth of knowledge, which it is good to share in order to promote it in every opportunity you give us.

In the link below you will find a series of SKAI radio documentaries about the Greek diet over the centuries. From wild seeds to the new Greek cuisine, all our history on one plate, all our culture on one table. Aris Portosalte together with reputable scientists, historians, archaeologists, doctors, but also scientists in other research fields, observe the eating habits of our ancestors and compare them with ours, in a path full of scents.
