At first it might be intimidating to recreate your favorite flavors in your own kitchen. It helps to start by making [small changes](https://guidingstars.com/kitchen-smarts/give-your-bbq-a-global-twist/) to traditional meals. Then explore supermarket aisles with [shopping tips](https://guidingstars.com/nutrition-science/celebrate-a-world-of-flavors-during-national-nutrition-month/) to create unique dishes and recipes, right at home. **Start With the Basics** The right ingredients bring international flavor to your kitchen. Start with flavorful fresh produce and a well-stocked spice rack and pantry. These herbs, vegetables, spices, and grains bring different flavors to your dish, with little effort: - Daikon Radish - Thai Basil - Cilantro - Chili Peppers - Jicama - Rice Noodles - Jasmine and Basmati Rice - Sushi Nori - Dried spices (like Garam Masala, Curry, Coriander, Cardamom, Ground Ginger, Chipotle Chili, Smoked Paprika, Chinese Five Spice) **Explore Your Store** In recent years, globally inspired foods have expanded [beyond one international aisle](https://www.grocerydive.com/news/multicultural-grocery-international-food-specialty-expansion-private-label/810823/). Today you can find products throughout the store that help you pass on takeout but still bring all the flavor into your kitchen. And many of them are nutritious too!
