Company description

Oldways is a nonprofit dedicated to improving public health by inspiring individuals and organizations to embrace the healthy, sustainable joys of the “old ways” of eating—heritage-based diets high in taste, nourishment, sustainability, and joy.

Since 1990, we’ve helped people live healthier, happier lives by offering educational programs, resources and recipes based on shared cultural food traditions from around the world. It’s a mission we take great joy in, one with proven nutritional and emotional benefits.

Oldways is best known for the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, which we created with the Harvard School of Public Health in 1993, and for the Whole Grain Stamp, which helps consumers find products that contain whole grains.
