GLV can be used fresh as a salad or cooked/processed according to the consumer’s taste. Due to the increased awareness among consumers about natural and organic foods, these are gaining popularity among people day by day. These occupy a high position in the food pyramid and are an essential part of a balanced diet. Vegetables are suitable for weight control due to their low calorie value.
