What is the process of adding nutrients to food called?
Answers:
Adding nutrients to food is called fortification.
I think Wonder Bread used to call that "enriching".
It's called "nutrient-addition."
Enriching.
Individual companies have various fancy names for advertising purposes, but the generic nutritionist term is "fortification"
They call it enrichment, but if they didn't take so much out of it in the first place (they call that refining) they wouldn't have to put things back in.
Enriched or fortified- but there is a difference between the two. If a food is enriched in a certain nutrient, for example Iron, then there is NO iron in the original food. If it has been fortified with Iron, then there is some iron in the food already, but they have added some more.
Hope that makes sense!
Cooking.
Enrichment, as in "Enriched with calcium."
