Diet Profiles and Nutritive Value of Selected Foods Eaten by the Kota and Kadar Tribes

Abstract

A tribe is a collection of families bearing a common name, speaking a common dialect, occupying or professing to occupy a common territory. The problem of providing adequate nutrition is very important in the tribal areas as the dietary standard of the tribals is so low that their diet hardly provides them the essentials of food elements like proteins, fats, minerals and vitamin in proper proportion.
