Healthy Table Passport
Korea & Mediterranean
BOOTH 1 Korea
Fermented foods · doenjang · gochujang
HEALTH POINTS
Doenjang, fermented from soybeans for months, brings plant protein and deep umami.
A little paste goes a long way — it’s high in sodium, so a small amount is the healthy key!
BOOTH 2 Mediterranean
Olive oil · fish
HEALTH POINTS
Extra-virgin olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols.
Omega-3s in fish (EPA and DHA) are known to support heart health.
Healthy Table Passport
Japan & Nordic
BOOTH 3 Japan
Low-sugar bento
HEALTH POINTS
Less sugar helps prevent sharp blood-sugar spikes after meals.
Small portions of many dishes — “one soup, three sides” — keep the meal balanced.
BOOTH 4 Nordic
Berries · salmon
HEALTH POINTS
Berries like blueberries and lingonberries are rich in polyphenols such as anthocyanins, plus fiber.
Salmon delivers quality protein, omega-3s and vitamin D in one.
Healthy Table Passport
India & Thailand
BOOTH 5 India
Turmeric · lentils
HEALTH POINTS
Curcumin, which gives turmeric its golden color, is widely studied for anti-inflammatory effects.
Lentils are packed with plant protein, fiber and folate — a vegetarian staple.
BOOTH 6 Thailand
Tom yum · coconut water
HEALTH POINTS
Lemongrass, galangal and lime leaves pack tom yum with flavor — no heavy oil needed.
Coconut water contains electrolytes such as potassium, great for rehydrating.
Healthy Table Passport
China & Vietnam
BOOTH 7 China
Goji berries · omija
HEALTH POINTS
Goji berries are rich in carotenoids like zeaxanthin, linked to eye health, and long used in medicinal cooking.
Omija, the “five-flavor berry,” makes a refreshing tangy tea.
BOOTH 8 Vietnam
Pho · cilantro
HEALTH POINTS
A clear broth topped with fresh herbs and greens — a relatively light, low-fat bowl.
Fresh herbs like cilantro add flavor so you need less salt. Go easy on the broth!
Healthy Table Passport
Mexico & Middle East
BOOTH 9 Mexico
Avocado · chia seeds
HEALTH POINTS
Avocados are a “healthy fat” fruit, rich in monounsaturated fat, potassium and fiber.
Chia seeds are full of fiber and plant omega-3s, and swell into a filling gel when soaked.
BOOTH 10 Middle East
Hummus · pomegranate
HEALTH POINTS
Made from chickpeas and sesame paste (tahini), hummus is rich in plant protein and fiber.
Pomegranate is a polyphenol-rich fruit whose tart seeds brighten any dish.
