Usage Note

Alimenticio describes anything relating to food or nutrition — valor alimenticio ('nutritional value'), hábitos alimenticios ('eating habits'). It is a formal adjective; in everyday speech alimentario is an almost interchangeable synonym. Neither should be confused with alimentado ('fed'), which is a past participle, not an adjective of relation.

Examples

"Esta fruta tiene un alto valor alimenticio."

Natural Translation

This fruit has a high nutritional value.
