Type: dataset

Abstract: The objective of the research is to analyze the gastronomic tradition of the Talatac community, belonging to the Zumbahua parish, Pujilí canton, from a nutritional perspective. For this purpose, both applied and bibliographic research methods were adopted. Data was collected through surveys conducted with a selected group of 67 individuals, of which 26 are representative members of the community. During the research phase, the most popular dishes were identified, such as cariucho, caldo de mondongo, yahuarlocro, as well as other unconventional preparations due to limited ingredient availability, but which are part of the daily diet. The recipes were standardized to determine the nutritional value of each dish. As a result, it is determined that the preparations that are part of the traditional gastronomy of the Talac parish meet the nutritional requirements of its inhabitants.
