Broa
''Broa'' ( or ) is a type of maize or rye bread traditionally made in Portugal and Galicia. It exists in somewhat different versions in Portuguese speaking countries like Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique. The Portuguese ''broas'' are either made from a mixture of cornmeal, rye, barley, wheat flour and yeast, baking soda or baking powder, or simply from rye and yeast. Before maize was brought from the Americas in the fifteenth century, broa was mostly made from rye. In Brazil, broa is more closely related to cornbread, likely a Native American influence, traditionally seasoned with fennel. There is some debate regarding the etymology of ''broa'' in Portuguese. It may originate from the Suebian or Gothic word *''braudą'' meaning 'bread', 'slice', 'piece' probably via *𐌱𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌸. Alternatively, it could derive from a Celtic root *borŭna (uncertain), as suggested for similar terms like Spanish borona, Galician boroa, and Asturian borona. In Portugal, ...

Broa De Avintes
Broa de Avintes or Boroa de Avintes (locally) is a type of broa from Avintes, Vila Nova de Gaia with a long tradition in the north of Portugal. It is a dark brown, very dense bread made with maize and rye flours, with a distinctive and intense bittersweet flavour. History "The word broa is believed to originate either from the Suebian or Gothic brauth, meaning 'bread', or from Celtic roots such as bron or bara, though some scholars argue for a pre-Roman origin, as evidenced by similar terms like Spanish borona, Galician boroa, and Asturian borona." This type of bread existed in Gallaecia at least since Suebian times. Prior to the addition of maize to the mixture, the main ingredients of broa were rye and malt. After maize was introduced in Europe from the Americas, "broa" became widely associated with "maize bread". Broa has been produced in Avintes since the 13th century, when King Dinis of Portugal awarded the village with the exclusive right of production and suppl ...

Ark Of Taste
The Ark of Taste is an international catalogue of endangered heritage foods which is maintained by the global Slow Food movement. The Ark is designed to preserve at-risk foods that are sustainably produced, unique in taste, and part of a distinct ecoregion. Contrary to the most literal definition of plant and animal conservation, the Ark of Taste aims to maintain edibles in its purview by actively encouraging their cultivation for consumption. By doing so, Slow Food hopes to promote the growing and eating of foods which are sustainable and preserve biodiversity in the human food chain. The list is intended to include foods which are rare, and are "culturally or historically linked to a specific region, locality, ethnicity or traditional production practice". Which foods meet these criteria is decided by an adjudicating committee made up of members of the Slow Food nonprofit organization; all candidates go through a formal nomination process which includes tastings and identific ...
