The cuisine of California is the local cuisine of the U.S. state of California. ==Local ingredients== A varied range of micro-climates, dominated by a mild Mediterranean climate, and health-conscious diets and lifestyles in California, promote the production, use and consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables and meats, many of them organic. In Northern California, with wine country nearby, French, Italian, and Mediterranean inspired food is prominent, as well as Asian-inspired fare. Many of the restaurants, cafes, bistros, and grills use ingredients sourced from local growers and farmers' markets. The California coast, especially the North Coast and Central Coast regions, is a source of seafood, which is a staple in the California diet. Battered and fried foods are not as common in California as they are in other regions, but there are several exceptions, such as fish tacos, tempura and french fries. The agricultural diversity of California's Central Valley provides fresh produce in the state. On less than 1 percent of the total farmland in the US, the Central Valley produces 8 percent of the nation's agricultural output by value. ''Sunset'', a magazine of the West published in California, has featured recipes that have influenced the cuisine of California, including the promotion of outdoor eating. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuisine of California」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
