?People can use the USDA Food Patterns and still enjoy a diverse array of culinary styles by sorting ethnic foods into their appropriate food groups. For example, a person eating Mexican foods would find tortillas in the grains group, jicama in the vegetable group, and guava in the fruit group. Ethnic foods can be subdivided into the main food groups including grains (rice, noodles, couscous) vegetables (cactus, yams, grape leaves, baby corn, bok choy), fruits (guava, kumquat, lychee, figs, olives), protein foods (fish, seafood, soy products, lamb, peanuts), and milk and milk products (feta cheese, mozzarella, yogurt, custard).
