Such a burden of food insecurity and various forms of malnutrition are directly associated with the existing food production system that ignores biodiversity, food affordability, and sustainability. During the last five decades, food production system has witnessed a global shift from ethnic to mainstream staple cereals production and promotion. Such an approach has badly affected the regional genetic pool of a diverse range of nourishing, economical, and sustainable edible plant species which are now referred to as neglected or underutilized food crops. Neglected Plant Foods of South Asia collects and preserves existing knowledge of underutilized, minor, wild, neglected and traditional food plants of South Asia, and their utilization for the production of value-added food products. Aiming at introducing plant ? based food solutions to address the increasing burden of food insecurity among marginalized communities of South Asia, this manuscript covers a plethora of nutrient-dense plant species including fruits, vegetables, roots, tubers, cereals, pseudo-cereals, and pulses. In addition to having an overview of each plant's origin, cultivation practices and production statistics, researchers will find comprehensive information on nutritional composition, food manufacturing properties, value-addition and traditional uses of neglected plant foods. Recent updates on strategies to combat toxicological risks associated with the consumption of neglected food plants have also been included. With this volume, researchers will have complete information on neglected, underutilized traditional edible plants of South Asia, and their potential to increase food security under the emerging challenges of climate change. 606 $aFood science 606 $aFood security 606 $aFood$xSafety measures 606 $aFood$xMicrobiology 606 $aFood Science 606 $aFood Security 606 $aFood Safety 606 $aFood Microbiology 615 0$aFood science. 615 0$aFood security. 615 0$aFood$xSafety measures. 615 0$aFood$xMicrobiology. 615 14$aFood Science. 615 24$aFood Security. 615 24$aFood Safety. 615 24$aFood Microbiology. 676 $a641.3 676 $a664 700 $aIsmail$b Tariq$01429582 701 $aAkhtar$b Saeed$01429583 701 $aLazarte$b Claudia E$01429584 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746300903321 996 $aNeglected Plant Foods of South Asia$93568573 997 $aUNINA
