| Summary: | There is a considerable investment -both commercial and academic - on the health related properties of foods, making the documentation of the nutritive value of historical cultivars especially urgent, before they are lost so that they may be effectively compared to modern cultivars. Because there is considerable diversity and a substantial body of the compositional studies directed towards commercial varieties, this information is useful for identifying traits and features that may be transposed from one variety to another. Compositional and sensory features may also be used for commercialization and also to characterize adulteration. Detailed characterisation of cultivars can be used to identify "super-foods". Alternatively, unmasked historical cultivars may be the focus of reinvigorated commercial practices |
