背景资料。世界各地正在发生的营养转型带来的挑战是巨大的：慢性病，特别是超重、肥胖和心血管疾病的发病率已达到令人震惊的水平--往往与高水平的微量营养素缺乏同时发生。黎巴嫩也不例外。然而，这个地中海国家拥有丰富的生物多样性，拥有数千种特有物种和同样丰富的烹饪历史，这在很大程度上是基于当地的生物多样性，包括野生可食用植物。记录以野生食用植物为基础的黎巴嫩传统食谱，并调查其有助于更多样化饮食的潜力。与具有野生食用植物鉴定、收获和利用知识的主要信息者举行了一系列9次焦点小组会议。以野生食用植物为基础的常见食谱是从农村社区收集并标准化的，在那里野生食用植物的收集很常见。进行了营养分析和食物成分分析，包括与黎巴嫩饮食中越来越常见的加工菜肴进行比较，结果表明，野生可食用植物性菜肴提供了更健康的替代。由于传统食谱经常在一道菜中使用来自几种食物类别的食物，它们可以成为饮食多样化的一个很好的模式。促进野生食用植物及其衍生产品的收集和利用可以改善营养状况。
Background. The challenge posed by the nutrition transition occurring throughout the world is enormous: rates of chronic disease, particularly overweight and obesity and cardiovascular disease, have reached alarming levels-often occurring in parallel with high levels of micronutrient deficiencies. Lebanon is no exception. And yet this Mediterranean country enjoys a rich biodiversity, with thousands of endemic species and an equally rich culinary history, largely based on its local biodiversity, including wild edible plants.Objectives. To record traditional Lebanese recipes based on wild edible plants and to investigate their potential to contribute to a more diversified diet.Methods. A series of nine focus group meetings was conducted with key informants knowledgeable in wild edible plant identification, harvesting, and use.Results. Common recipes based on wild edible plants were collected and standardized from rural communities where collection of wild edible plants is common. Nutrient analysis and food-composition analysis were performed, including comparisons with processed dishes that are increasingly common in the Lebanese diet, revealing that the wild edible plant-based dishes offered a healthier alternative.Conclusions. Since traditional recipes often use items from several food groups in one dish, they can be a good model for diet diversification. The promotion of the collection and use of wild edible plants and their derived products can lead to improved nutrition.
