In order for a human being to get a
full nutritional value of food, it is necessary to consume a variety of
foods with a certain amount of calories. The nutritional value of the
vegetables is determined by its content of carbohydrates, protein and
far, as well as minerals and flavours. An adult needs 714 grams of food
of animal sources, 1225 grams of foods from plants and 400 grams of
vegetables.
Vegetables claim a major position of
the nutritional intake of the people pf Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, where
vegetable production has been increasing over the recent years. Those
countries use advanced technologies that are as developed as those used
in the Mediterranean region, such as using protected farming, drip
irrigation and providing the ideal conditions for biological and organic
farming, helping the countries to export in winter and spring to the
European markets.
