Go beyond the nutritional value to discover the lesser known health
benefits of certain Asian crops Several foods from the Asian
culture that are not well known to other parts of the world have
health benefits that stretch beyond mere nutritional value. Asian
Crops and Human Dietetics comprehensively reviews the plants and
spices in the Asian diet which have made significant beneficial
contributions to daily health and nutrition. This text not only
provides up-to-date summaries of the more familiar Asian food
items, but also those that are less widely known. This extensive
examination clearly discusses the latest evidence-based scientific
studies that document the health benefits and nutritional
information of Asian food items. Asian Crops and Human Dietetics
conveniently groups the food crops into the food guide pyramid
classification, including grains, vegetables, fruits, fats and
oils, beans and nuts, spices, and herbal beverages and subsequents.
This book closes the gap in knowledge about important and healthful
dietary items not generally recognized in Western culture.
Diligently researched and exhaustively referenced, this text
provides the information as well as scientific evidence together in
reader-friendly form. Lesser-known dietary items examined in Asian
Crops and Human Dietetics include: millets, such as finger millet
and Kodo millet bitter gourd ivy gourd Bok Choy alliums, such as
leeks, scallions, and Chinese chive green leafy vegetables,
