About Horta

Horta is a traditional Greek dish made from an assortment of boiled wild greens, such as dandelion, chicory, or lamb’s quarters, often seasoned simply with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Celebrated in Mediterranean cuisine, horta is a nutrient-packed powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium. Its high fiber content aids digestion, while antioxidants support overall cellular health. The dish is naturally low in calories and fat, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a light, healthy option. Typically served as a side or light meal, horta is an example of ancient wisdom embracing fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. While generally very healthy, those monitoring sodium intake should be mindful of the added salt. Its simplicity highlights the fresh, earthy flavors of the greens and underscores the nutritional benefits of plant-based eating.
