Sources & Methodology

Sources & Methodology

Jade Kitchen Journal uses a source-first editorial approach. Depending on the topic, useful primary or institutional references may include food-safety authorities, nutrition institutions, agricultural research bodies, cultural organisations and official tourism or heritage resources.

How we use sources

  • Primary sources are preferred for regulations, official guidance and institutional facts.
  • Research and specialist sources are used where they materially improve an explanation.
  • Regional and cultural claims are treated carefully because traditions can vary between communities and households.
  • Source links are provided for readers who want to verify or explore a subject further.

Important distinction

External links are references, not endorsements. We do not reproduce third-party articles or frame external pages inside our content.
