African Heritage Diet
Asian Heritage Diets throughout East, Southeast, and South Asia share a common foundation of vegetables, spices, fruits, rice, and legumes.

Asian Heritage Diet
The Latin American Heritage Diet is influenced by the traditional foods and flavors of the Spanish, Portuguese, African, and Indigenous people.

Latin American Heritage Diet
Cultures around the world rely on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and herbs to bring great flavors, colors, and nutrition to daily meals.
