New Fruits & Vegetables-
Fruits- lucuma (pictured below and which makes really good ice cream), chirimoya, murtilla, guava, the horned melon, quince.
Vegetables- Chilean Rhubarb, Mountain papaya, and Changle & Digüeñe mushrooms.
Spices-
Some Herbs and spices typically used in Chilean cooking are:
1.Chancho en Piedra- a typical Chilean seasoning. Tomatoes, garlic, and onions grounded together in a stone. (pictured below)
2. Boldo
3. Sugar cane
4. Chancaca
5. Merkén- It is a smoked and dried red hot chilli pepper cacho cabra- which is ground into a powder.
Food Pyramid?-
Chile's official food guidelines are called Dietary guidelines for the Chilean population, Ministry of Health 2013 (Spanish:Guías alimentarias para la población chilena, Ministerio de Salud 2013). The main points are generally the same as here, but better suggestions. For example, one is to take the salt shaker away from the table. One difference between the MyPlate and this is that it is simply suggestions for a healthy life style, and not a formula for what you must do. One other difference is the suggestion to eat legumes at least twice a week, without mixing them with cured or cold meats.
Water-
Chile has a very high water sanitation standard, so the water is safe to drink everywhere, especially in urbanised areas. But it is very hard, so one needs to take it easy at first. However, drinking pop, juice, and carbonised water is much more common than drinking "normal" water.
