A study published in the journal Foods provides an overview of research on minimally processed vegetables (MPVs), with a specific focus on the Brazilian market.
Regular consumption of vegetables plays an important role in human nutrition owing to the vitamins, minerals and fiber they contain."More and more people wantthat can be prepared in a short time because of the hurry and stress of everyday life. This trend has led to rising global demand for MPVs," said Daniele Maffei, last author of the article.
MPVs are cut, sanitized and sold in closed packaging with labeling that suggests they are"ready to eat." Consumers buy them to prepare meals more quickly and reduce waste, given that the entire contents of each package typically correspond to a single portion. Because they are usually eaten raw, they are normally washed in chlorinated water to remove pathological microorganisms.
