ISHS Acta Horticulturae 93: Symposium on Quality of Vegetables
FOOD VALUE OF VEGETABLES |
| Authors: | K. Lindstrand, A.B. Nordreco |
| Abstract:
When we talk about the value of vegetables, we restrict ourselves to something that could be expressed with figures, like calories etc. Furthermore, we have overlooked the eye appeal which is a very important factor in nutrition, especially in relation to vegetables. Cereals seem to have got exclusive rights of contributing fibre to food. Since vegetables are a very good source of fibres, this topic will also be covered and some studies of the physiological effect of vegetable fibres compared to bran will be reported. Finally, vegetables as a source of trace elements will be discussed. | |
