| Description |
Since ancient times, Mongolians have been producing and consuming more than 3,000 types of foods and beverages. Mongolian culinary tradition can be classified into the following three categories:
Tsagaan idee ‘White food’ or Dairy products
Ulaan idee ‘Red food’ or Meat products
Nogoon idee ‘Green food’ or Vegetable products
Among these three, Mongols primarily consumed diverse forms of dairy and meat products more than the vegetable foods. This is relative to the living condition and ancient transhumant lifestyle of the Mongols. |
