dc.description.abstractThis field study was carried out in the Dang district of the State of Gujarat, Western India, where 187 households from the Bhil tribe were interviewed with the aim of gathering information on their dietary intake and traditional food habits. Ninety-two different foods were identified and compiled into data tables. Most of the foods eaten by the Bhil were harvested locally, collected or hunted in the jungle. Meat, poultry and fish are easily accessible and therefore commonly eaten. Fruit is also eaten in abundance especially when there is a scarcity of other foods. Photographs accompany the nutrient tables, along with details of localities, consumption and seasonal harvest.en
