About this book

Language: Spanish

This volume includes descriptions of 75 species of vegetables and legumes that are cultivated and/or marketed in the Río de la Plata region on the border of Argentina and Uruguay, and which are consumed in the daily life of the inhabitants of urban, peri-urban and rural areas here. In addition, another 18 edible species are treated here, and appendices with 62 more species have been included. In total, the book treats 155 edible species. The first appendix contains 5 species of more restricted or sporadic use; the second, 14 species cited in the Argentine Food Code, but of undocumented use in the study area; the last appendix, 43 native or adventitious species that are not usually consumed in the Río de la Plata region but are in other areas. This data is relevant because it deals with food resources that are not used, often due to a lack of knowledge.

Summary in Spanish:
Este volumen incluye descripciones de 75 especies de hortalizas (verduras y legumbres), que se cultivan y/o comercializan en la región rioplatense, y que se comsumen en el ámbito de la vida cotidiana de los habitantes de las zonas urbanas, periurbanas y rurales de la región. Además, se tratan otras 18 especies comestibles, dentro de esos contenidos, y se han incluido apéndices con 62 especies más (en total, 155 especies comestibles). El primer apéndice contiene 5 especies de uso más restringido o esporádico; el segundo, 14 especies citadas en el Código Alimentario Argentino, pero de uso no documentado en el área de estudio; el último apéndice, 43 especies nativas o adventicias que no se consumen usualmente en la región rioplatense, pero sí en otras zonas. Este dato es relevante, porque se trata de recursos alimentarios que no son aprovechados, muchas veces por falta de conocimiento.
