Abstract
The mix of spices and herbs in combination with regularly available vegetables can improve the intake of these vegetables by the adolescent school going students. Since these spice and herbs are the plant parts and extracts, they provide immense health benefits to the adolescent students and of course to aged people because of the bioactive compounds available in them. Their role is not just limited to maintain good health but also increase the acceptability among consumers because of their usage found in several forms. Because vegetables are the main course of the meal, their combination with seasoning may enhance the quality of the diet that is available in the lunch programs among rural schools.
