description Background and aims: The use of wild fruits is part of a dynamic local ecological knowledge, sensitive to social and ecological changes. M&M: To evaluate the nutritional potentialities and effective use of products made with algarroba (fruits of Neltuma spp.), progress was made in their nutritional determination in the laboratory. Furthermore the supply of products at fairs and dietetics was studied by means of surveys, and online surveys were carried out to study the use and perceptions associated with the use of these products. The data obtained were analyzed both qualitatively and by frequency analysis and applying General Linear Model. Results: The nutritional results indicate the nutritional and also medicinal potential, as anti-inflammatory, of the algarrobas, positioning it as a “folk functional food”. The consumption of products made with algarrobas would be increasing in frequency, not depending on traditional guidelines but as a new cultural element, associated with a positive perception for health. The main limitation for its use being the lack of information in this regard. Conclusions: The fruits of Neltuma spp. can be considered as NUS (neglected and underutilized species) in process of being revalued, with a great potential impact on the conservation of native forests and regional economies.

Introducción y objetivos: La utilización de frutos silvestres forma parte de un conocimiento ecológico local dinámico, sensible a cambios sociales y ecológicos. M&M: Para evaluar las potencialidades alimenticias poco aprovechadas de las semillas y el uso efectivo de productos elaborados con algarroba (frutos de Neltuma spp.), se realizó, por un lado, el análisis nutricional de sus semillas -perfil de ácidos grasos, proteínas totales y compuestos antioxidantes (polifenoles totales) y, por el otro, el estudio de la oferta de productos en ferias y dietéticas a través de entrevistas personales, así como del relevamiento del uso y percepciones asociadas al uso de estos productos mediante entrevistas virtuales. Los datos obtenidos fueron analizados de modo cualitativo, con análisis de frecuencias y aplicando Modelo Lineal General. Resultados: Los resultados nutricionales señalan el potencial alimenticio de las semillas de la algarroba que lo posiciona como un “alimento funcional folklórico”. Por otra parte se ha observado que, el consumo de productos elaborados con algarrobas está paulatinamente más frecuente como parte de un elemento cultural nuevo, asociado a una percepción positiva para la salud. Se observa que la principal limitación para su uso es la falta de información sobre sus propiedades y ventajas para el bienestar. Conclusiones: Los frutos de Neltuma spp. se posicionan como NUS (especies olvidadas y subutilizadas) en proceso de ser revalorizado, cuya promoción podría tener un impacto positivo en la conservación de bosques nativos y de las economías regionales.
