The long history of humans’ ability to adapt to natural environments and to interact with nature and social circumstances is profoundly devoted to edible wild plants and animals. From the early hunter-gatherers and across different adaptation stages, plants have assumed great importance in human societies, and many people all over the world have depended on many wild species, particularly for food and medicines. Wild edible plants are those plants with edible parts that grow naturally on farmland and fallow or uncultivated land. Different wild edible plants have played a significant role in different geographical regions of the world throughout human history. Wild vegetables contribute to people’s food security and health in many rural areas of the world. They may have remarkable nutrient values and can be an important source of vitamins, fibers, minerals, and fatty acids; they may also show important medicinal properties. Wild edible plants have always been an essential and widespread food source for food-insecure families living in poverty in developing countries. Wild edible plants are nutritionally rich and can especially supplement vitamins and micronutrients to the human body.
