Review Asian Crops and Human Dietetics (Crop Science) / CRC: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, including chekup manis, vegetable drumstick, Ceylon spinach, and fenugreek legumes, such as the winged bean tubers, including elephant yam and taro breadfruit mangoes litchi tamarind jackfruit flaxseed oil rapeseed oil red gram adzuki bean cowpea mung bean herbs, such as Asafoetida, cardamom, and turmeric and more! Asian Crops and Human Dietetics is essential reading for professionals, educators, and students in plant and crop sciences, dietetics, and health professions, as well as for anyone who wishes to be better educated about the health benefits of specific plants.

Review Food Culture in the Near East, Middle East, and North Africa (Food Culture around the World) / Greenwood Press:The similar cuisines of the Near East, Middle East, and North Africa stem from ancient cultures and variable climates, ranging from Mediterranean to desert. The major monotheistic religions developed in the Middle East, and students and other readers will learn how religous strictures on food and drink continue to play an important role in eating habits there today for Muslims, Jews, and Christians. Most of the population in the regions is Arab, and therefore the emphasis in this volume is mainly on the Arab Muslim food cultures. The impact of colonialism, globalization, and modernization on the foodways is also discussed in the topical chapters. This thorough overview provides huge insight into the lives of everyday people in the regions through their food culture. One chapter describes the major foodstuffs and how they are used. Another discusses gender roles and cooking, the use of cookbooks, and details the typical kitchen and its contents, from appliances to utensils. A chapter on typical meals shows the daily rituals of the various peoples. The "Eating Out" chapter provides a fascinating look at the workings and decor of small, traditional restaurants, the popularity of picnics, and more. Next, food in the context of religious holidays and life-cycle celebrations is discussed. [+]Finally, traditional folk and modern beliefs about diet and health round out the coverage.

Review Food, Cuisine and Society in Prehistoric Greece (Sheffield Studies in Aegean Archeology) / Oxbow Books Limited:Food and drink, along with the material culture involved in their consumption, can signify a variety of social distinctions, identities and values. Thus, in Early Minoan Knossos, tableware was used to emphasize the difference between the host and the guests, and at Mycenaean Pylos the status of banqueters was declared as much by the places assigned to them as by the quality of the vessels from which they ate and drank. The ten contributions to this volume highlight the extraordinary opportunity for multi-disciplinary research in this area.
