Foods of the Amish
The Amish generally eat foods produced in their own gardens or on their farms. As a rule, they do not eat processed, store-bought foods,
such as corn flakes or potato chips. Homegrown fruits and vegetables, eaten fresh, canned, or frozen, play a very important part in the
Amish diet. Vegetables often found in Amish meals include peas, corn, zucchini, beets, beans, rhubarb, and many others.
Cabbage and potatoes are especially important. Sauerkraut—a type of pickled cabbage—appears at many Amish meals and is
used in everything from soups to cakes. Grain products like bread, cornmeal, and oatmeal are also staples of the Amish diet. Scrapple,
a popular breakfast food, is made with fried cornmeal mush prepared with sausage and liverwurst.
