The view that local wild varieties of plant foods tend to be nutritionally superior to corresponding cultivated ones is validated here. In a volume that is a product of a European Union-funded project on local components of variants of the Mediterranean diet, Heinrich (pharmacognosy and phytotherapy, School of Pharmacy, U. of London) introduces eight papers examining the cardiovascular and other disease-prevention attributes of traditional regional menu items and a high vegetable to meat consumption ratio; and the ethnobotanical study of locally-gathered foods. Some may view as an oxymoron the development of manufactured functional foods from bioactive ingredients in this diet. Tables summarize local dishes and research studies on their components. This contribution should stimulate further studies in this field. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
