 The Nordic diet is a plant‐based diet and refers to the dietary pattern recently developed in the Nordic region.

 Compared to the Mediterranean and the DASH diets, the Nordic diet differs in the type of recommended oil and the vegetable and fruit choices.

 The Nordic diet has been proven to have favorable health effects in controlling weight status and blood glucose and in reducing cardio‐metabolic and inflammatory markers.

 A food is characterized as “typical” of the Nordic diet if it fulfills a list of criteria, such as being produced within the Nordic countries, being related to Nordic dietary tradition, superior in terms of health effects compared to other foods of the same food group, and consumed as food and not as dietary supplement.
