Should the bambara groundnut remain underutilised?. FST Magazine: South African Food Science and Technology, August. | Abstract: | The Bambara groundnut (BGNl) (Vigna subterranea) is an African indigenous legume high in protein, low in fat and high in phenolics with antioxidant properties. Yet it is classified as underutilised and is unknown to consumers and national and international food baskets. Our chains of value-added products from this legume, such as beverages and fibres, indicates that BGN has the ability to break the cycle of poverty and malnutrition in Africa. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/11189/5268 |
