The foods of Peru

Lima is widely considered Latin America’s culinary capital. The coastal metropolis is known for seafood delicacies like ceviche and causa Limeña, an elegant cold layered potato dish.

For those who want to eat well without making a dent in their wallets, the city was also rated the most affordable for eating out.

Peru is becoming the new giant exporter of fruits and vegetables from South America to the world. Most of the fruits and vegetables they’re exporting are in the superfood category.

They include

avocados,

blueberries,

pomegranate, figs,

There are very few countries that can say their main exports are superfoods. Peru’s agricultural growth is attributed to a combination of the country’s climate and its product diversification. The climate conditions of Peru are ideal for growing superfoods.
