Abstract
Background: The search for healthy eating has allowed for a rediscovery of tastes and flavors from times gone by. Reflection: Traditional foods, understood as those passed from generation to generation, as well as those being from, relevant, and significant to a certain location, family or person, are generally examined by social sciences such as anthropology, which has been a fundamental pillar in food heritage. However, from a food science perspective we can also explore and comprehend typical meals, and especially how they relate to global malnutrition indicators. Traditional food intake could permit a closer look at and approximation to healthier eating. Conclusion: The current dietary profile reinforces traditional foods as a space to improve the quality of life through healthier diets and the social, emotional, and nutritional union that these heritage foods represent.
