The World | Asia and Australasia | Armenia

Armenia produces a variety of crops, such as almonds and walnuts; rice, wheat, and corn; and peaches, apricots, plums, citrus fruits, grapes, and olives. Sheep, goats, and cattle provide an abundance of meat and dairy products, which form an important part of Armenian cuisine. Yogurt and burghul (cracked wheat) are used in many recipes, and appetizers called mezze are artistically prepared and very popular. 7
