The Philippines is home to more than 1,500 different kinds of medicinal herbs. However, the use of medicinal plants has been limited because of the difficulty in identifying these herbs. Thus, this book on medicinal fruits and vegetables was conceptualized to make it easier for the general public to benefit from the bounty of Mother Nature's medicine.

In each article for a fruit, vegetable, or spice, one will find the following information:

Botanical and scientific names
Names in the different dialects and languages
Traditional uses
Research findings
Food values
Recommended medicinal use
Botanical and agricultural characteristics
Therapeutic color energy / prana
