Normal 0 21 false false false ES-MX X-NONE X-NONE Abstract In Zapotlan el Grande (ZEG) the production of berries has increased drastically, while traditional crops has decreased. The availability of these new foods may change eating habits (EH) of the population. The objective of this study was to assess the frequency and amount of berry consumption in the adult population of Ciudad Guzman (ZEG, Jalisco, Mexico), and to identify if these have become part of their EH. A total of 384 adults, from 18 to 65 years old, residents of Ciudad Guzman, were surveyed with an adapted version of a food consumption frequency questionnaire. 34% of participants reported never consuming blueberries, raspberries or blackberries, while 39% eat them occasionally. On average, none of the berries was consumed in the amount proposed by the Mexican System of Equivalent Foods (SMAE), and only accounted 18% of the ration suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is concluded that although the amount of berries consumed is less than the recommended by the WHO or SMAE, a quarter of the population assessed has incorporated berries into their usual diet, which shows that their availability is generating a change in the EH of the population.

La disponibilidad de estos nuevos alimentos puede generar cambios en los habitos alimentarios (HA) de la poblacion. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la frecuencia y la cantidad de consumo de berries en poblacion adulta de Ciudad Guzman (ZEG, Jalisco, Mexico), e identificar si estos han pasado a formar parte de sus HA. Participaron 384 adultos, de 18 a 65 anos, residentes de Ciudad Guzman, quienes fueron encuestados por medio de una version adaptada de un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos. El 34% de los participantes refirio nunca consumir arandanos, frambuesas o zarzamoras, mientras que 39% los ingieren ocasionalmente. En promedio, ninguno de los berries fue consumido en la racion propuesta en el Sistema Mexicano de Alimentos Equivalentes (SMAE), y solo represento 18% de la racion sugerida por la Organizacion Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Se concluye que aunque en cantidad inferior a la recomendada por la OMS o el SMAE, una cuarta parte de la poblacion evaluada ha incorporado los berries a su dieta habitual, lo que demuestra que su disponibilidad esta generando una modificacion en los HA de la poblacion.
