The term that designates foods that contain non nutrient substances that may provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition is functional foods. Functional foods are modified food that claims to improve health or well-being by providing benefit beyond that the traditional nutrients it contains. They include; breads, cereals, beverages that are fortified with vitamins, some herbs, and nutraceuticals.
