Genetic change, regardless of cause, can change the kind and quantities of nutrients food contains; so, certainly. The same is also true for foods (both plants and animals) genetically modified by artificial selection. Further, random mutation may also change foods' nutritional value. Indeed, within any species of food plant or animal, there is some variation in nutritional quality, as there is some variety in genes. In general, though, nobody monitors these things.

Sugar is a carbohydrate and therefore a valuable source of food energy, providing 4 calories per gram, roughly 16 calories in a level teaspoon. Sugar is rarely eaten on its own. Adding sugar to foods improves their taste and increases the range of foods that people eat. For example, without sugar many breakfast cereals, which provide important vitamins, minerals and fibre, would be less attractive. See similar questions...

These tiny baby plants provide a convenient and concentrated means for absorbing the active compounds Micro greens are considered to be in the group of what are newly referred to as “functional foods” which are food products that contain particular health promoting or disease preventing properties that are additional to their normal nutritional values.

To increase the nutritional value of our eggs, we start with the hens. We give our 'specialty eggs' 'specialty feed'. The type of feed that the hens receive to produce our specialty eggs differs slightly. For example, the Omega-3 Eggs are achieved by increasing the amount of flaxseed in their diet. The hens would receive, for example, feed derived from 20% ground flaxseed and a combination grain diet. Flaxseed is higher in Omega-3 fatty acids and lower in saturated fatty acids than other grains. See similar questions...
