Formulation and evaluation of dehydrated greens incorporated value added products

The present investigation was aimed to increase consumption of green leafy vegetables in the daily diet thus combating the micronutrient deficiencies, especially iron and calcium. A series of laboratory experiments were carried out to study nutritional constituents of some selected green leafy vegetables and after comparing the iron and calcium content of the dehydrated green leafy vegetables, Amaranthus spinosus, Talinum triangulare and Chenopodium album were found to be higher in both iron and calcium content.
