Foods by country

Where foods come from: 40 countries with the number of catalogue foods that originated there and those they produce among the world's largest.

How to read this table

"Native" counts the catalogue foods that were domesticated or originated in that country or its region, like maize in Mexico or coffee in Ethiopia. "Top producer" counts the foods that country is among the world's largest producers of today, even if they came from elsewhere: Brazil and coffee, Vietnam and rice. Each country has its own page with the calories of its foods and which one stands out for protein, fiber or vitamin C.
