Abstract
Vegetables play an important role in a balanced diet by providing not only energy but also supplying vital protective nutrients like minerals and vitamins. In addition to their role in nutrition, vegetables increase attractiveness and palatability of a diet by providing sensory appeal through their test and flavours. Vegetables are a major and very important constituent of human diet (Thamburaj and Singh 2005).
