10 Greek Superfoods Many Tourists Still Don’t Know About.

Horta may not look glamorous, but many Greeks consider it one of the healthiest traditional foods in the country. These wild greens are served in tavernas all over Greece, usually boiled and topped with olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
The variety is huge and includes wild spinach, fennel leaves, nettles, dandelions, purslane, beetroot leaves, amaranth, poppy leaves, and many more depending on the season and region.

Greeks have been eating horta for generations, especially in villages and islands where locals still collect some greens by hand from mountains and countryside areas. They are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Tip for tourists: try horta together with fresh grilled sardines. The combination of wild greens, olive oil, lemon, and omega-3 rich fish is one of the healthiest and most traditional meals you can eat in Greece.
