| Abstract: | Wild edible plants represent an important yet underutilized resource for improving nutritional security and traditional healthcare in rural regions. The present study evaluates the nutritional composition and ethnomedicinal significance of selected wild edible plant species from the Akot–Wadner Gangai region of Maharashtra, India. Fifteen edible species were selected based on their local use. Nutritional data were compiled from published literature, while ethnomedicinal information was obtained through field observations and interactions with local inhabitants. The species exhibited significant nutritional potential, being rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and bioactive compounds. Notably, Moringa oleifera showed high protein and mineral content, Psidium guajava was rich in vitamin C, and Amaranthus deflexus and Cleome gynandra were important sources of iron. Several plants were also traditionally used to treat digestive disorders, inflammation, and skin diseases. The findings highlight the dual role of wild edible plants as food and medicine and their potential in enhancing dietary diversity and addressing micronutrient deficiencies. The study emphasizes the need for scientific validation, conservation, and sustainable utilization of these valuable plant resources. |
