    30+ Healthy Naturally Green Vegetarian St. Patrick's Day Recipes

    St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17 annually. It's a celebration where Irish and non-Irish communities participate in the “wearing of the green” - sporting an item of green clothing or a shamrock, the Irish national plant, in the lapel.

    So why not indulge in food that is green? Here are naturally green foods free from food coloring and artificial food dyes. They are tasty and healthy for your family to get into the holiday spirit.

    St. Patrick's Day History

    St. Patrick’s Day observes the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Many legends grew around him—for example, he drove the snakes out of Ireland and used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. The holiday has evolved globally into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinking, and a lot of green.

    One icon of this Irish holiday is the Leprechaun. The original Irish name for these folklore figures is “lobaircin,” meaning “small-bodied fellow.” Belief in leprechauns probably stems from Celtic belief in fairies, tiny men and women who could use their magical powers to serve good or evil.
