Question

Hidden hunger refers to

• A. lack of essential micronutrients in food
• B. lack of calories in food
• C. lack of proper quantity of food
• D. lack of taste in food

Answer 1

The correct option is A lack of essential micronutrients in food

Hidden hunger is when people can afford to eat proper food and good quantity of food, so seemingly they are not hungry anymore, but the food consumed lacks essential micronutrients that are necessary for growth and development. Thus, those who consume food devoid of essential micronutrients are considered to be undernourished.
