The time to start fresh all over is here once again! The New Year is finally here and while we all have our own traditional ways to celebrate it, most people from around the world also include food in their traditions. From eating certain fruits to opting for particularly coloured foods, these traditions can be quite fancy. So, if you're looking to opt for something different this New year's Day, give these food traditions a try.

The people of Turkey generally consume pomegranates as a traditional food on New Year's Day. They believe that the fruit symbolises fertility and abundance which is why they also think it best to begin their year by consuming the delicious fruit.

This is usually eaten on January 6 to celebrate the special occasion when the three wise men arrived to meet the baby Jesus. This ring-shaped bread is decorated with fruits, nuts and sugar and let us tell you it makes for one mouth-watering delicacy.

One of the quirkiest traditions we've ever heard of, the Spanish people believe that it's good luck to eat a dozen grapes, one during each stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. Apparently, the flavour of the grapes (sweet or sour) is supposed to predict what type of year you will have.

Who doesn't love noodles? And the Japanese traditionally eat buckwheat soba noodles or Toshi Koshi soba at midnight on New Year's Eve to bid farewell to the past year and welcome the New Year with open arms. The noodles are a symbol of longevity and prosperity.
