Cook the world's cuisines using just THREE ingredients: Infographic reveals staple foods and spices used across the globe
A total of 36 cuisines were studied to establish the common ingredients
Ingredients include spices, herbs, oils, fruit and alcohol
Designers studied ingredients used in national dishes of chosen regions
This included tagines and cous cous for Morrocco and pot au feu in France
For regions that don’t have national dishes, or have multiple dishes that are popular, researchers combined recipes to get average for that region
Garlic is a staple across Europe and Africa, and oregano is a popular taste across the Mediterranean
Cumin is the most popular spice, and coriander is the most popular herb

One of the best parts about being on holiday is getting to sample local dishes and get a taste for the country you’re visiting.
In France, the aromas of wine and garlic fill the air, for example, while tomatoes and oil are synonymous with Italian delicacies.
With this in mind, designers have created an infographic that reveals the three staple items found in the cuisine of individual countries or regions, and how they compare.

A total of 36 world cuisines were studied to establish the most popular and common ingredients. These include spices, herbs and oils. For example, cumin, coriander and turmeric are common ingredients in Bengal, but Central Asian cooking predominantly uses pine nuts, pistachios and cinnamon

The most popular spice worldwide is cumin, according to the graphic, with coriander being the most used herb. Garlic is popular in nine regions, including France, Italy, Spain and North Africa
For regions that don’t have national dishes, or have multiple dishes that are popular in specific towns, the researchers combined the recipes.
Some are synonymous with the region, including paprika in Louisiana, and lemon in Greek cuisine.
But others are less obvious, including sour oranges, famous in Yucatan Chicken, and apples in Normandy, used in the Chicken Normandy dish.
