ABSTRACT: Wild edible herbs are a priceless gift from nature, yet they are rarely used. The socio-cultural, spiritual, and health spheres of rural and tribal life have always placed a high value on wild edible plants. Wild edible plants are a sustainable food source that significantly improves dietary diversity and nutrient security. The commercial cultivation of these edible wild medicinal herbs can be one of the most successful agricultural ventures for farmers.
