The Mediterranean diet consists of fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil, and low in meat and dairy, and is associated with health benefits. In 2010, UNESCO recognised it as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. In Jordan and Lebanon, the traditional Eastern Mediterranean diet includes wild-collected edible species. The collaboration between the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in the UK; the National Agricultural Research Center in Jordan; and the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute in Lebanon, under the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB) partnership has enabled hundreds of seed collections to be made of the flora in both Jordan and Lebanon over the last 20 years which have been stored in country and at Kew's MSB. This has been an important work to ensure the conservation of the native flora in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
