| Abstract: | Ethnobotanical knowledge plays a crucial role in sustaining rural livelihoods and preserving cultural heritage. The present study documents the traditional knowledge associated with wild edible plants in the Akot–Wadner Gangai region of Maharashtra, India. Field surveys and interactions with local inhabitants resulted in the identification of 15 plant species. Information regarding local names, parts used, modes of preparation, and associated health benefits was recorded. The findings indicate that these plants are integral to daily life, serving as accessible sources of nutrition and primary healthcare. Leaves and fruits were the most frequently utilized plant parts, often prepared as vegetables or consumed fresh, while certain species were used in home-based remedies for common ailments such as digestive disorders, skin infections, and respiratory issues. The study also highlights a gradual decline in traditional knowledge due to changing socio-economic conditions and reduced dependence on natural resources. Documentation of such knowledge is essential for its preservation and for promoting sustainable utilization of plant biodiversity. |
