Gabonaféle

Gabonaféle is a Hungarian term that translates roughly to "cereal-based" or "of cereal origin." It is used to describe foods, products, or dishes that primarily consist of grains or are derived from them. This category encompasses a wide range of items, from staple foods like bread and pasta to processed goods such as breakfast cereals and snacks. The term emphasizes the source material of the foodstuff, highlighting its agricultural origins.

In culinary contexts, gabonaféle can refer to dishes where grains are the main component, such as various grain porridges, pilafs, or baked goods.
