Probably, everyone sooner or later starts to understand that the food we eat should not only be tasty, but also useful. If there is no knowledge, then you can begin to learn tricky recipes, the properties of foods and food systems. However, there is a more pleasant and safe way - the study of traditional cuisines. Almost all the cuisines that have a rich history are useful, because if it were the opposite, they would not have survived to our time.
It must be said that the list of kitchens is based on the life expectancy and health indicators of the country's population, and they are affected not only by food, but also by the national character, the way of life. Moreover, not all residents adhere to the centuries-old traditional cuisine and adopt other people's habits (Finnish, Uzbek, Russian), and therefore not included in the list of the most useful people in the world.
First place- Japanese cuisine
It is the Japanese, thanks to their kitchen, live long and almost do not know what is the excess weight and diseases that are associated with it. And this is not surprising, because in their kitchen there are a lot of fish, seaweed, rice, vegetables, soy and seafood. They almost do not eat meat, simple carbohydrates, milk and animal fats. Only occasionally they eat eggs, a chicken with izvinin. Algae, fermented vegetables and soybean give the body vitamins, and thanks to this, a healthy flora in the body is maintained, but the fish dishes give the body the right amount of proteins and carbohydrates. It is important to know that in Japan only fresh products are bought, not frozen at all, but just from the sea. They at least handle food (cooking naparu, quick roasting), which preserves all useful substances and properties. Soy by the Japanese serves instead of milk, meat and cheese. In Japanese cuisine, there is still a great preference given to soups: vegetable and fish. In each dinner they have a lot of spices and sauces that stimulate digestion: wasabi, soy sauces, pickled ginger. Special attention is paid to the seasonality of the Japanese. Fruits and vegetables they eat only when the season. In the winter and summer table there are no identical dishes, only rice is the base product in their kitchen.
It should be said about Japanese delicacies. They are prepared from fruit juices, rice flour and thickeners, which are taken from algae. Of course, this is not at all similar to our sweets, but this is good, because a small amount of fats and sugar only strengthens health. The favorite drink of the Japanese is green tea. The most famous tea in Japan is math - it is powdered, while not only leaves are used, but entirely. It is worth remembering that the Japanese traditionally treat food: there must be at least five tastes on the table, and it is necessary to preserve the original appearance of the products, there must also be five colors of the table, elegant, simple serving with many saucers, plates and small portions.
The second place - the kitchen of Singapore
This place is given to the kitchen of Singapore, but that its inhabitants took all the best things in India, Japan, China, Thailand and other countries and adapted the cuisine to the base tastes. It is not strange that in Singapore you can try not only their eyes, but also the dishes of neighboring countries. Of course, in Singapore, rice, soybeans, seafood and fish are preferred, although as in all Asia, but also thanks to the moist and hot equatorial climate, coconuts and tropical fruits can be eaten there. In the kitchen of Singapore, a lot of meat and fried eggs, which can not be said of Japan, but all this is compensated by herbs, spices, fruits, nuts and vegetables. There are basic receptions in the kitchen of Singapore - cooking for a couple and in broth, stewing, marinating and quick frying with spices. We can say that this kitchen is the most successful, if we talk about mixing kukony.
Third place - Chinese cuisine
Chinese cuisine, although located on the third place in the list, it is even more diverse than the cuisine of Singapore and Japan. It is very difficult to talk about the distinctive features of Chinese cuisine, because it collects the traditions of the four regions, whose cuisine is completely different. However, the main drawback of this cuisine is the love of any meat and the fondness of fried foods. Advantages of the Chinese cuisine are variety, wide use of tea, small portions of spice and spice.
Mostly in China, we prefer rice and bean products (beans, soybeans). They also use many fruits, herbs and fruits - in general, they eat everything that land and sea give. Spices and sauces can easily brighten up some flaws in taste. Only in coastal areas the Chinese eat a fish. Further from the shore, in the depths of the fish instead of fish eat exotic meat, for example, insects, snakes, pork and chicken.
In China, there is such a saying among cooks: "You can cook everything except the Moon and its reflection." Everything that the earth gives you can be cut and fried or marinated for several months.
Fourth place - the kitchen of Sweden
Of course, European cuisine is quite new, so they can not compete with Asian ones. However, Sweden's cuisine is not in vain in the fourth place. In Sweden, there are a lot of long-livers and only 11% of people are overweight, this is quite a good indicator, although in Asia, the percentage of fat people is only 1-2%.
Swedes eat mainly fish and other seafood - salmon, pike, cancers, caviar, herring, sea-salmon. Of course, they also eat meat - venison, pork, wild and domestic poultry. Due to the fact that Sweden has a harsh climate, they consume fruits and vegetables a little. Instead, they eat root vegetables - carrots, beets, potatoes and turnips, as well as local various berries. It is very famous in Sweden for black bread and various cereals, but they are baked with baked pastries. The drawback of traditional Swedish cuisine is that in winter they eat salted fish, smoked foods and pickled vegetables.
Fifth place -French cuisine
France is famous for all sorts of culinary masterpieces, but their utility only took a five-place. And the blame for everything was croissants, baked pastries, fatty sauces, foie gras, meat dishes and ice cream. However, in the French cuisine there are a lot of vegetables, herbs, fruits, seafood and spices. Also prevail in France are vegetable soup and soup. And on their own and various dishes use quality cheeses and grape wines. Even with such nutrition, the percentage of fat people in France is only 6%, and the average life expectancy is 81 years.
Sixth place- Italian cuisine
The most useful cuisine in the Mediterranean is Italian cuisine. Of course, the most famous dishes of Italy are lasagna, pizza and pasta, but this is not the whole list. Very important in the Italian cuisine are vegetables: courgettes, artichokes, tomatoes, onions, eggplants and peppers. Without them, you can not make any flour product or even pizza. In addition to the paste in Italy, corn and rice are very popular. Italians take the whiskey from seafood, nuts, beans, mushrooms and meeps. But the sources of fat are capers, olive oil, cheeses and nuts. In order to give a dish the chef's tasteful accent uses herbs: rosemary, mint, oregano, basil, as well as capers, olives and anchovies. Very moderately used grape wines, liqueurs, various tinctures and grappa.
Also in the Ttalian cuisine of multi-sweetness: marzipan, tiramisu, but more often they consume fresh berries and fruits.
Seventh place - the kitchen of Spain
In the kitchen of Spain, there are many spicy spices of meat, so it is inferior to Italian cuisine. However, it is all based on the wife of rice, fruit, pasta, wine, cheese, seafood, olive oil and vegetables.
The eighth place is the kitchen of Greece
Greek cuisine can be even more useful than many of the above, but because the living conditions in this country have a bad effect on health, it is satisfied with the 8th place. In Greece, like in the whole Mediterranean, like seafood, vegetables, olive oil, spices, nuts, honey, citrus, fragrant herbs and fruits. From meat they prefer chicken, goat meat to Ibaranin. Dairy products in greek kukhne have a special place, they love yogurts and cheeses. In Greece everything is prepared very simply, but the original flavor and taste of the products is left. The strangest thing about Greek cuisine is that there are practically no sauces here.
Nine-Seven - Israeli Cuisine
The cuisine of Israel combined the ancient recipes of the whole world. Moreover, the Israeli cuisine is influenced by religious norms, according to which they can eat meat of only artiodactyl ruminants and fish with scales, while milk and meat are prepared and used separately. The basis of Israeli cuisine is: herbs, beans, root vegetables, peas, vegetables, poultry, honey, fish, spices. Many dishes of this cuisine are prepared according to a special recipe, so ordinary people who do not know and do not learn can not prepare them, besides cooking many dishes takes time.
