  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioprospecting of Tropical Medicinal Plants

Abstract

Inadequate levels of critical micronutrients may have long-term implications greater damaging than low energy consumption in human diets which cause nutrient deficiency. Malnutrition is very common problem in human beings due to change in their lifestyle, insufficient nutrient intake, or suboptimal diet. As we all know, legumes are staple crops all over the world and a healthy source of protein, as well as having beneficial properties that aid in the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases. This chapter will provide wealth of information depending upon various researches on nutritional content leguminous seeds, suitability formulation of food as nutraceutical, bioactive content of leguminous seeds in order to reduce iron deficiency.
