Spices of the sea voyages — Portugal · Cuisine World
Portuguese ships sailed to India and the Americas over 500 years ago, and food travelled with them. Sort each ingredient by where it comes from.
Your task
Put every card in the right box.
- Simplified: we only show where each plant first grew, not every route it took.
- Simulation: heat, ovens, hot oil and knives are only pretend here. At home, always cook with an adult.
- Allergens: check the label with an adult (gluten, milk, egg, nuts, peanut, shellfish, soy, sesame). We never ask about your allergies.
Score
- Safe kitchen — Adult, clean hands, cool handles: you cooked safely.
- Technique — Right order, right amounts, right timing.
- Food knowledge — You understood why it works — and where it comes from.
