Adding carob to your diet can provide you with many health benefits because it has:

➡️a lot of fiber
➡️antioxidants
➡️low amounts of fat and sugar
➡️no caffeine
➡️no gluten

So next time think of this superfood to make your favourite treats!

[iHeritage Project - Portugal @IheritageP]

Carobs! What was once considered animal food is now a superfood with an increasingly higher value.

Carob trees come from the Middle East and can be found all over the Mediterranean. However, it is Portugal that stands out as one of the largest producer of “alfarroba”!

"A Mediterranean diet that's rich in vegetables, fruits and fish may help reduce or stave off symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, according to research published this week in the journal Nature Mental Health." 👏

For this and promoted by Centro Ciência Viva de Tavira, the University of Algarve as partner, formed a partnership with the DiMEd project, funded by CRESC ALGARVE 2020, that produced digital educational resources covering the Mediterranean Diet.

Hiking festival! Let's explore the lesser known Algarve!

Occurring between August and September in the emblematic local product gathering season, the goal is to run the festival during a time in which “there’s more people around” and when fruits like fig and almond are picked.

[iHeritage Project - Portugal @IheritageP]

By doing this, the festival is creating a “different offer” to what traditionally exists at this time of year, offering new experiences such as going to pick the fruits in an authentic way!

#GOMED #event #hiking #festival #fruits

[iHeritage Project - Portugal @IheritageP]

This fruit is so popular in the Algarve that during the year figs are often dried whole and enjoyed months later stuffed with almonds, cinnamon and spices! Did you know that?

A Mediterranean treasure for sure!

[iHeritage Project - Portugal @IheritageP]

Portugal may blessed with an incredible selection of everything from seafood to fruits, nuts, wines, dairy, desserts, oil, salt, cured meats, breads, preserves, spices…you name it. But do you know which fresh fruit is back in season?

Yummy Figs!

#GOMED #mediterrean #Iheritage

[iHeritage Project - Portugal @IheritageP]

Algarve fig trees produce fruit twice a year, in spring the popular “Figo Lampo” and in fall a second coming with a number of mixed varieties! They're amazing when eaten fresh, with honey, cheese, in salads, baked, grilled, whatever your imagination can dream!
