This week Costa Rica officially joins the global initiative known as “Meatless Monday,” or Lunes sin Carne, which aims to reduce meat consumption and environmental harm.
Where there's sea, there's seaweed, and coastal people around the world have used it for food, medicine and animal feed for millennia. Should we all be eating more of it?
Globalization has pretty much guaranteed that all your Snickers, etc. from the U.S. can be found down here but there are a handful of Tico treats that kids — and their parents — can look forward to.
Tico coffee, a specific candy or a cookie brand: These are some of the Costa Rican products that Ticos living abroad frequently request from relatives or friends. So the Foreign Trade Promotion Office is using that loyalty to promote the opening of new export markets for local products.
World Egg Day is a promotion by the worldwide aviculture industry to egg on sales of their products and to encourage egg eating. In Costa Rica, Egg Day was celebrated in Juan Santamaría Plaza in Alajuela, north of San José, with slices of egg tort for all comers.
