Find out from the newly launched Food Composition Table released for Indian food

The first Indian food composition table with 218 foods was released in 1937 as a health bulletin titled ‘The nutritive value of Indian foods and the planning of satisfactory diets’. This was then updated and released with 298 foods in 1951. The same bulletin was rehashed with 856 foods in 1963, 664 foods in 1971 and 606 foods in 1989.

After all this time of waiting, Indians can finally get to know what nutrients make up the food they eat!
