Ancestral Diet

Ancestral Diet

Definition

Traditional patterns of eating based on the foods consumed by one’s ancestors, adapted to specific climates, ecosystems, and microbiomes.

Interpretation

A remembered recipe. Ancestral diets are rooted in local soil and seasonal rhythms β€” not trends. They reflect a culture’s co-evolution with land, microbes, and medicine. To eat this way is to align with your lineage and your landscape.

Living Invitation

Research what your great-great-grandparents might have eaten. What wisdom or nourishment lives in those forgotten meals?
