The Sinú River valley area is one of the large agricultural marts of the country. There are in their soils countless products of vegetable consumption, exotic fruits, native fruits and daily use, vegetables that are sources of nutrients to all populations, and a variety of tubers that are source of energy to consumers.

The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of each fruit, vegetable and tuber found in the area of Cordoba, also in the aspects related to the production area, fresh consumption, processing levels, characteristics of the raw material, in this study and it became a scan.
