Mediterranean diet grocery list — olive oil, produce, fish, legumes
Mediterranean-style eating is built on olive oil, seasonal vegetables, legumes and fish, with red meat and processed food in the background. Use the list with your household and run the weekly shop from one place.
In short
A Mediterranean diet grocery list is built on olive oil, seasonal vegetables and fruit, legumes, whole grains and fish, with a little dairy. Most of the basket is vegetables, chickpeas, lentils, bulgur and wholegrain bread, plus fish at least twice a week and a small handful of nuts a day. Red meat and processed food appear only occasionally.

Tips
Buy olive oil in a dark bottle and keep it away from light and heat; it loses its flavor quickly in clear glass.
Buy fish the day you cook it or the day before, and freeze it if you won't cook it right away.
Dried legumes soaked overnight are the economical route; canned ones do the job when you're short on time.
Buy vegetables and fruit in season and from a market if you can; the flavor is noticeably better.

Frequently asked questions
How often should you eat fish on a Mediterranean diet?
The usual guidance is at least twice a week, and oily fish such as sardines counts. When fresh fish is hard to find or pricey, frozen or canned fish is a practical alternative.
Is the Mediterranean diet expensive, and how can you keep costs down?
Much of it is inexpensive: dried legumes, bulgur and seasonal vegetables. The costly items are olive oil, fish and nuts; buying fish frozen or canned and eating nuts in small portions keeps the budget balanced.
What do you eat less of on a Mediterranean diet?
Red meat, cured meats, sugary drinks and sweets show up only occasionally rather than daily. In their place, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and fruit form the everyday base.
Can I change the list?
Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories.
Do I need an account?
No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup.
How long is the list kept?
As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock.
Can I install it on my phone?
Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap.
