I won't repeat the above.

I will add Saffron (or crocos). Greece is famous for the production of the Greek Saffron, which is one of the world's most intense and valuable varieties. Saffron is used in cooking as a spice. It was first cultivated in the vicinity of Greece.

Mastic, from Mastic trees in Chios island.

Pistachio nuts , especially in the island of Aegina is the best quality .

Greece, with its great variety of plants and flowers, produces different tastes of honey. This product is considered as one of the best in the world and the best honey can only be found in mountain villages.

Great variety of herbs and plants with many virtues: mountain tea, oregano, sage, chamomile, sage, basil, mint, parsley, tilioâ€¦

And of course fruits, vegetables and cereals.

Cereals constitute very important crops mainly for local consumption. Older policies of the Greek state aimed at cereals production being in equilibrium with the country's annual needs. Frequent expansive and defensive ople's nutrition, were two factors that galvanised the former policy.
