FOOD
Ukrainian cuisine is heavily influenced by the rich dark soil, known locally as chernozem, from where the ingredients are grown. Ukraine is often referred to as the “breadbasket of Europe” and the local cuisine emphasizes the importance of wheat and grain to the Ukrainian people and its often-tumultuous history with it. The majority of cuisine in Ukraine descends from medieval peasant dishes based on plentiful grain resources such as rye as well as staple vegetables such as potato, cabbages, mushrooms, and beetroot. Local Ukrainian cuisine incorporates traditional Slavic techniques as well as other European techniques, this is a result of years of foreign jurisdiction and influence.
