CREAT

Creat, the foodies island, is a startup of 2024 with the mission to introduce to the world the Cretan diet as a joyous, balanced, happier, healthier and sustainable way of living. Inspired by the 5,000 years of the Cretan culinary heritage, with Crete being the birthplace of the Mediterranean diet, we decided to launch in the international markets an authentic Cretan brand, with great tasting products, the antidotes to ultra processed foods. The Mediterranean diet has been voted for the 6th consecutive year as the best diet in the world, outpacing all other "ethnic" diets and all other popular diets, Keto, Paleo, Atkins etc, prevailing on all 3 counts, healthiness, taste and ease to adopt. The birthplace of the Mediterranean diet is Crete, and to date the Cretan diet, that has been associated with 6 years increased life expectancy than the average life expectancy in Western Countries, remains the healthiest of all Mediterranean diets, and a very tasty diet as well. The Cretan diet that is filled with fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish instead and of course olive oil is a very environmentally friendly diet as well. The UN announced that the planet is not sustainable beyond 2050, if the Western diet continues to prevail internationally. Simultaneously the UN announced the "reference diet", the dietary pattern by which the planet becomes sustainable beyond 2050. The traditional diet of the Cretans is almost identical to the UN's "reference diet" that makes the planet sustainable beyond 2050. What greater proof of sustainability one can ask for, from a diet whose protagonist products have remained unchanged for the last 5,000 years, olive oil, wine honey, wild herbs, wild greens, legumes. The 1st winery in the world, the 1st documented use of olive oil in the world. Crete's local products that were protagonists in the prehistoric Minoan diet remain protagonists in Crete's modern gastronomy.
