The foods in people’s diets around the world are very different from each other, but all good diets must be
composed of a variety of different foods that provide all of the food energy and other nutrients in the
amounts needed. For most people, a good meal will be based on a starchy food, sometimes referred to as a
“staple” food, as it forms the basis or main portion of the meal, and a variety of other foods (side dishes) that
provide the additional protein, vitamins and minerals needed for a good, healthy diet.
Staple foods are usually starchy carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, bread, couscous, maize (corn), potatoes,
and foods made from wheat, rice, rye, barley or oats. The other foods eaten with the meal should include
generous amounts of vegetables and fruits; good amounts of legumes ; smaller amounts of meat, poultry,
eggs or fish and milk and milk products, such as cheese and yoghurt. The greater the variety of side dishes
served with the staple food, the greater the chance that all the needed nutrients are included in the meal.
