Abstract
Traditional leafy vegetables represent inexpensive but high quality nutrition sources for nutritionally vulnerable communities. In South Africa, inadequate nutrient intakes and the overall burden of diseases have been attributed to low intakes of fruit and vegetables. The study obtained background information on consumers’ views of indigenous and traditional foods (ITF) and assessed the acceptance of, preference for, and intended consumption of products made with cowpea leaves with untrained consumer focus groups.
