Searching for plant-based foods (PBFs) in PubMed is tricky because most of these are indexed in the Plants explosion, and not in the Food explosion. This has disadvantages for searching, but it also has the advantage that PBFs are classified by plant family, with related plants together. This is valuable because plant families have biochemical distinctiveness, which affects their nutrition. The hedge we use to combine with each plant family is described.
