Foodie terms By Abigail Henson

Farm-to-table: The concept of connecting farmers to diners as directly as possible, in order to maximize social, economic and environmental ZHOOQHVV ZLWKLQ D VSHFLĆ&#x201C;F DUHD

Locavore: A term coined by Natural Gourmet Institute graduate Jessica 3UHQWLFH XVHG WR GHĆ&#x201C;QH DQ\RQH ZKR UHOLVKHV LQ WKH ORFDO JRRGQHVV RI WKHLU particular surroundings. Gluten-free: Food has evolved over the centuries in a way that often creates modern-day gestational sensitivities, discomforts and intolerance to the protein found in barley, rye and wheat. Those who suffer from the most severe form of intolerance have Celiac Disease, and cannot even withstand cross contamination. Vegetarian: The vegetarian diet consists of plant-based foods: seeds, nuts, beans, greens, grains, fruits and vegetables and often includes a sliding scale of acceptable dairy products such as yogurt, milk and cheese.

Vegan: A diet deep-rooted in animal rights abstains from all animal-related products, ranging from the most obvious meat options to some of the less obvious animal bi-products such as honey, dairy, gelatin and whey. SYRACUSEWOMANMAG.COM
