Here is a very special traditional recipe for wild greens pie, called Kaltsounia from the village of Kremasti located in the Parnonas mountain range in the Lakonia prefecture. Sofia has kindly accepted to reveal her secret recipe for the first time. Sofia is the owner of Kremasti Restaurant located in the village. The wild greens are picked from ancient times from the surrounding mountains during the winter and left to dry away from direct sunlight. They are then served in their homes and in the village Restaurant all year round. Sofia and her family provide all the ingredients used from seed to final serving.

We are very greateful for the special interest they showed in sharing this knowledge with everyone around the world.
Αυτή είναι μια παραδοσιακή συνταγή της περιοχής του Πάρνωνα για μια τοπική χορτόπιτα του χωριού που αποκαλείται από τους ντόπιους Καλτσούνια. H συνταγή αυτή είναι ένα από τα πολλά μυστικά μακροβιότητας των κατοίκων της περιοχής. Η Σοφία που είναι ιδιοκτήτης του τοπικού εστιατορίου είχε την ευγένεια να μοιραστεί μαζί μας αυτά τα μυστικά. Τα άγρια χόρτα συλλέγονται από τους αρχαίους χρόνους από τα γύρω βουνά και αποξηραίνονται φυσικά με τοπικές ειδικές μεθόδους. Οι ντόπιοι τα λένε “αρμάδια” και τα χρησιμοποιούνε σε διάφορες συνταγές.

The movement was founded by Mr Panagiotis Saitanoudis. Since its creation, Peliti has been organizing expeditions in Greece to collect seeds from traditional and local
varieties, trying to make them widely known and used all over Greece, to protect local biodiversity and enhance food sovereignty.
