They call Ikaria “the island where people forget to die.” Ikarians are far more likely than the rest of us to reach 90 with their minds and bodies intact — and dinner often begins in the hills, gathering wild greens they call horta. Dandelion, wild fennel, nettles, purslane — many carry more antioxidants than green tea or red wine, and purslane is one of the planet’s richest plant sources of omega-3s. They’re prepared simply, blanched for a single minute, then dressed with good olive oil and lemon — and eaten almost every day. It’s the kind of quiet, everyday habit that adds up to one of the world’s longest-lived diets. Slide 2 is the secret hiding in plain sight — the wild greens themselves. Slide 3 is how Ikarians cook them: barely blanched, drenched in olive oil and lemon. That’s the whole recipe. 👉 More at eatingto100.com #bluezones #ikaria #greece #horta #wildgreens
