Hot and Cold in the Kitchen: Classification of Plant Foods in a Rural Community of Oaxaca, México.
The Mesoamerican folk classification of foods into "hot" and "cold" is influential in daily food preparation; however, quantitative, comparative data are lacking. This study investigated the classification patterns and consensus of unprocessed edible plant products in a village in Oaxaca, Mexico. Quantitative information on the classification of 58 foods was collected through a survey of 21 randomly selected female family cooks. Classifications were mostly consistent; we identified patterns that were similar to other parts of Mesoamerica. Quantitative studies are necessary for a deeper understanding of the system's influence on the daily diet, food preparation and gastronomy of the region.
期刊介绍:
Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
