Kinteata is a traditional dish that is often described as a porridge or a soup. It is prepared with young nettles that are boiled, puréed, and then mixed with wheat or corn flour until the dish develops a thick and creamy texture. Kinteata is often seasoned with garlic or mint, and it is traditionally served drizzled with olive oil.

It is believed that Pontiac Greeks were the first who introduced nettles and kinteata into traditional Greek cuisine.
