![]() ![]() ![]() The source of fat should be selected to supply optimal amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially n-3 fatty acids. Provision of a high fat content to increase energy density is emphasized however, the content of micronutrients should also be increased to maintain nutrient density. In cereal-dominated diets, the plant foods should be processed to reduce the contents of antinutrients and fibers. The special beneficial qualities of animal-source foods, which contain high levels of minerals important for growth, high-quality protein, and no antinutrients or fibers, are emphasized. The nutritional values of the main food groups-cereals, legumes, pulses, roots, vegetables, fruits, and animal foods-are discussed. The following general aspects are covered: energy density, macronutrient content and quality, minerals and vitamins, bioactive substances, antinutritional factors, and food processing. ![]() The aim of this review is to give an overview of the nutritional qualities of relevant foods and ingredients in relation to the nutritional needs of children with moderate malnutrition and to identify research needs. There is consensus on how to treat severe malnutrition, but there is no agreement on the most cost-effective way to treat infants and young children with moderate malnutrition who consume cereal-dominated diets. ![]()
