There is renewed interest in the therapeutic value of certain foods and herbs that are called nutraceuticals or functional foods.
neutraceuticals are foods claimed to have a medicinal effect on human health.
the US National Academy of Sciences defines functional foods as those that "encompass potentially healthful products" including "any modified food or food ingredients that may provide a health benefit beyond the traditional nutients it contains".( eg: Flavanoids, gamma linoleic acid, beta carotene, Turmeric,Garlic, Fenugreek, Cloves,Mushrooms,Rice, Ginseng,Herbal Teas etc)
