Abstract:

A study was undertaken to document the ecological status of wild edibles consumed among the Cholanaickens tribe of Western Ghat in India. It was found that they consume a number of wild edible plants. It was observed that the people are less dependent on their traditional foods owing to the availability of subsidized food from the cooperative stores. A total of fifty six species of wild edible plants were documented which are consumed by the Cholanaickens. Among those species, twenty four species were leafy vegetables, followed by twelve fruit yielding species, nine species, which produce edib

Abstract:

Wild edible plants" is a term used to refer to wild plants that can be consumed or used as a food source by humans. Village communities often use wild edible plants to obtain additional food sources, especially in situations where access to other food ingredients is limited. The aim of this research is to find out the types of wild plants that are often used as alternative food ingredients, including the parts of the plants used and the processing efforts. The data analysis method used in this research is the qualitative descriptive method. Based on the results of interviews with informants, n

Abstract:

SummaryLusala (Dioscorea hirtiflora Benth. subsp. pedicellata Milne-Redh) is an important wild edible tuber foraged widely from natural forests in Southern Zambia, but at risk from overharvesting and deforestation. Its propagation was investigated in glasshouse studies to explore potential domestication and future in situ and ex situ genetic resources conservation. Almost all tubers planted with visible shoot buds produced vines, with no effect of tuber size on vine emergence or tuber yield. Few tubers without visible shoot buds at planting produced vines, but those that did not re-tuberized.

Abstract:

The present paper communicates information on 50 wild edible plants species being utilized by the local inhabitants of Ranchi District in Jharkhand. These plants have been arranged in a tabular form with their vernacular name, family, plant habit, plant part used and their usage. Edible parts of these plants include fruits, leaves, flowers, shoots, seeds, tubers, fruit bodies, etc. These wild edible plant parts are not only less expensive fooding sources for rural poor but also are prominent trade article in the study area.

Abstract:

The study documents wild edible plants' diversity and ethnobotanical significance in the Sirsi region of Uttara Kannada, Karnataka. 73 wild edible species belonging to 41 families were recorded, with Lamiaceae and Myrtaceae being the most represented families. Among the surveyed species, Centella asiatica was the most frequently reported, followed by Murraya koenigii and Alternanthera sessilis. It highlights that leaves (36%) and fruits (34%) are the most commonly consumed plant parts, while seeds (10%) and tubers (9%) are used to a lesser extent. The majority of these wild edibles are native

Abstract:

Emerging needs for diversifying human diet and to explore novel therapeutic procedures have led to increasing attempts to retrieve traditional nourishments and recruit beneficial wild plant species. Species of the genus Erodium (Geraniaceae) harbor medicinal indications and substances known from folklore and scientific research. Hairy stork’s bill (Erodium crassifolium L’Hér), is a small hemicryptophyte that inhabits arid southeast Mediterranean regions. E. crassifolium is among the very few Geraniaceae species known to produce tubers. Traditional knowledge holds that the tubers are edible and

The powders of a traditional food (Nyam ngub) and two wild varieties of orchid tubers (Ateehteu and Lamsie) were studied for the chemical composition (proximate and mineral composition) and functional properties (water, oil, ethanol absorption capacities, solubility index and swelling power). The tubers were collected from Kedjom Ketingoh (5o 58’N and 10o 19E) in the Northwest Region of Cameroon from July to September 2017. The Nyam ngub was prepared following the traditional method used by local processors in the field. Nyam ngub and tubers were separately sliced, dried for 96 h at 45 °C, gro
