title: Plant sources of vitamin A and human nutrition revisited: recent evidence from developing countries.
abstract: Although certain green edible plants and fruits are natural sources of beta-carotene, their inclusion in the diets of children in third world countries as a practical source of vitamin A may be unrealistic due to cultural bias. Further examination of cultural perceptions and beliefs should be undertaken before proposing or endorsing dietary recommendations.
