“Nutritional and Health Aspects of Food in the Balkans” introduces and analyzes traditional foods from the Balkans. Beginning with the eating habits in Balkans, this book unfolds the history of use, origin, compositions and preparation, ingredient origin, nutritional aspects, and the effects on health for various foods and food products of the region. It also addresses local and international regulations and provides suggestions on how to harmonize these regulations to promote global availability of these foods.
With all this in mind, as the authors emphasize, further efforts must be made to preserve this national heritage, ie. to increase the capacity of natural resources through cooperation and joint activities of the scientific community, producers and the government.
