This information, not usually included in nutrient databases of foods, provides insight into the revalorization of wild food species and preservation of their traditional uses. The text also presents wild edible plants as alternatives to improve the diversity of modern Mediterranean diets, as they may represent valuable sources of nutrients often lacking in modern societies, such as fiber or vitamin B9. This work has expanded from the two initial groups, to involve different contributors, including experts from different countries, most of them bordering the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, a multidisciplinary approach has been achieved.The book is organized into four parts that deals with different aspects of wild edible plants, the last one and largest offering a detailed compilation of ethnobotanical and nutritional information about some of the most important Mediterranean wild edible plants.Plant scienceBotanyPlant biochemistryBiodiversityFood—BiotechnologyBiotecnologia vegetallemacBiodiversitatlemacAlimentsBiotecnologialemacBotànicalemacPlant Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24000Plant Biochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021Biodiversityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031Food Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C15001Mediterranean RegionfastPlant science.Botany.Plant biochemistry.Biodiversity.Food—Biotechnology.Biotecnologia vegetalBiodiversitatAlimentsBiotecnologiaBotànicaPlant Sciences.Plant Biochemistry.Biodiversity.Food Science.581.632091822Sánchez-Mata María de Cortesedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTardío Javieredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910253878803321Mediterranean Wild Edible Plants2527571UNINA
