Minnesota Food

Minnesota Food

Minnesotans love to eat! We enjoy a wide variety of Minnesota food and drink items that are produced all across our state.

We love to share our abundance with Minnesota grown food gifts.

Some of our favorite "eats" come from our varied heritage. We love the foods that can be grown right here in Minnesota. Our Native American population has taught us how to hunt and gather many tasty foods. Recipes that have a distinct "Minnesota flavor" are the stuff of legend--food legend anyhow. And, if your want to "eat out," there are restaurants all over Minnesota that serve up both the expected and the unexpected. (We'll let you in on where they are.)

Minnesota foods

Minnesota produces an abundance of food. And, if you didn't know...we also produce wonderful Minnesota wines. Family farmers, chefs, food artisans, farmers' market vendors and other food-related businesses bring the highest quality, seasonal, locally grown Minnesota food products to our tables and restaurants. These lovingly produced Minnesota foods make our community an interesting and healthy place to live, work and thrive.

Newly published is a wonderful book titled The Minnesota Table: Recipes for Savoring Local Food throughout the Year.

While you are enjoying other Minnesota activities and adventure, be sure to taste what Minnesota offers as well. Stock up for meals at the cabin or campground at a Minnesota Farmers Market.

Our family loves to spend time visiting Minnesota orchards, pumpkin patches and "pick-your-own" farms. There are festivals and events that take place all around the state in celebration of Minnesota grown foods. Minnesota fall festivals often feature Minnesota grown apples, pumpkins and other tasty treats.

Many visitors to Minnesota are surprised to learn that they can visit
Minnesota Wineries. Minnesota has quite a few vineyards that host wine-tastings, tours and other events.

Minnesota was settled by immigrants from many countries. The Scandinavians among us have added their own unique Minnesota food list with lefse, and lutefisk, hot dish and wonderful pastries. The Swedes, Finns, Germans, Irish and Italians have contributed their national recipes as well.

Many of our favorite recipes are based on native foods including wild rice recipes, wild game and fish recipes and recipes that use wild berries.
Minnesota has many ethnic restaurants, food festivals and shops celebrating, and offering, the taste of our diverse food culture. Restaurants in Minnesota cater to the diversity of our population and the desire we have to explore a variety of cuisine. Ethnic eateries offer the flavors of the world that include: African, Chinese, Caribbean, French, German, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican Russian, Spanish, Thai and Vietnamese.

We Celebrate Minnesota Food With Festivals!


Here are just a few of the tasty festivals you will find here.
