Abstract
The database contains information on the composition of selected tree foods and crops with geographical focus on sub-Saharan Africa. Tree foods are nutritious edible foods from trees and shrubs including fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and edible oils. Next to these foods, pulses, cereals and starchy roots and tubers are included. The current version (version 1) contains 132 foods (out of 99 species) and 30 components. All component values are presented per 100 g edible portion on fresh weight basis (EP). In addition to actual food composition values the database includes scores for all foods for whether they are a “high source”, “source”, “present, but low source”, or “not a source” of the selected micronutrients iron, vitamin A, folate and vitamin C. Searches can be done by food name, scientific name and by food group
