Food that Starts with G | Facts & Pictures
Grapes
Annually, grapes are used to make a total of 7.2 trillion gallons of wine worldwide. Though grapes are used for all purposes, only 12% of all grapes grown are for eating as unprocessed fruit.
Goose
In German cuisine, Gansebraten is a roast goose dish that first undergoes a brining and stuffing process. The goose is stuffed with a combination of bread, apples, onions, almonds, or chestnuts — and is seasoned with nutmeg, cloves, bay leaves, thyme, and/or marjoram.
Gooseberries
In the UK, gooseberries are in season from June to August — with July being the high point of the season. Gooseberries are used to make cakes, crumbles, tarts, pies, and even salsa.
Graham Crackers
Graham crackers are the result of one of the first vegetarian movements in the United States. Sylvester Graham (1794 – 1851), Presbyterian minister and temperance advocate, inspired followers to create bread products out of whole-grain (graham) wheat flour, molasses, oil, lard, sugar, and salt.
Gravy
Gravy is typically made from the juices of meats that are boiled down with flour to create a sauce — but other types of gravy can include those made with mushrooms, onions, vegetables, or cream bases.
Granola
Granola was originally known as Granula, an invention of nutritionist Dr. James Caleb Jackson (1811 – 1895) who invented a graham-flour-based cereal in 1863. To avoid trademark issues with Jackson, businessman John Harvey Kellogg (1852 – 1943) named a similar product Granola in 1881.
Guava
India is the largest producer of guava fruit in the world. The country produced a total of 21.8 million metric tons of guava in 2019, followed by China (4.8 million), Thailand (3.8 million), Indonesia (3.1 million), and Pakistan (2.3 million).
Guacamole
The largest serving of guacamole was created on April 6, 2018, in Tancitaro, Mexico. It weighed 8,351.11 pounds. Guacamole is a Classical Nahuatl word for “avocado sauce”.
Gyoza
Gyoza are the Japanese version of the northern Chinese dish Jiaozi — meat-filled steamed dumplings. Gyoza differ in that they are smaller and have thinner wrapping skin. Though both dishes are likely to contain pork, scallions, and cabbage, gyoza tend to be seasoned more with garlic.
Gyros
A gyro may refer to a meat dish (made of lamb, chicken, or beef) roasted on a vertical skewer, or a sandwich consisting of such meat served on pita bread with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce.
Gazpacho
Gazpacho soup is a dish consisting of oil, vinegar, garlic, tomato, cucumber, and bread. It was created in the south of Spain (specifically Andalusia) and served cold in the Iberian peninsula to provide relief on hot afternoons.
Gumbo
Gumbo is a dish that is served traditionally in the American state of Louisiana, a stew created with a meat-based roux (gravy), stock, shellfish, okra, chicken, sausage, file powder, and the culinary “holy trinity” of onions, peppers, and celery.
