Some wild plant species have been used as vegetables in several parts of the world. These species are also used with respect of their aromatic and medicinal properties. Furthermore, these plants are evaluated as alternative food sources in periods where crop vegetables were not available. In this study, nineteen wild plant species, which are used as vegetable by local people in Bafra Plain, were collected and identified systematically. Dry matter, ash, protein, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese and zinc contents were analyzed in order to determine the nutritional values of consumed parts of these wild species. Significant differences were found between species regarding their nutritional values. In fresh plant samples; the highest dry matter content was determined in Trachystemon orientale (14.73 g/100 g) and the highest ash content in Chenopodium album L. (24.73 g/100 g-dry sample). Within the species the highest protein content was observed from Taraxacum officinale Weber (32.03 g/100 g-dry sample) and Coronopus squamatus Forssk. Aschers. (31.73 g/100 g). Species displaying the highest phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese and zinc contents were respectively Chenopodium album L. (0.49 g/100 g), Trachystemon orientale L. (2.90 g/100 g), Chenopodium album L. and Rumex acetocella L. (0.47 g/100 g), Malva silvestris L. (1.54 g/100 g), Coronopus squamatus Forssk. Asch. (583.40 mg/kg), Ocimum basilicum L. (39.86 mg/kg) and Asparagus acutifolius L. (44.13 mg/kg). The results of this study showed that most of these examined nutritional values of these species are higher than cultivated vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and parsley.

Background: Greater consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancers. The most important nutrients present in plants are carbohydrates, such as the starch and free sugars, oils, proteins, minerals, ascorbic acid, and the antioxidant phenols. Plants are an essential component of the universe. Human beings have used those as medicine from the very beginning of time. Methods: The proximate composition and mineral constituents of Asparagus officinalis stem and Momordica dioica fruit were evaluated in order to scientific standard methods of Association for Official and Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Results: The stem contained ashes: 10.70% crude protein: 32.69%, crude lipid: 3.44%, crude fiber: 18.50%, and carbohydrates: 34.67%. Stem also have high energy value (384.27kcal/100g) dry weight. Mineral ranges (mg/100g dry weight, DW) were: K (10.94), Na (1.84), Ca (0.67), Fe (0.19), and Zn (2.60). The fruits contained ashes: 9.1%, crude protein: 5.44%, crude lipid: 3.25%, crude fiber: 22.9%, and carbohydrates: 59.31%. The fruits also have high energy value (288.25kcal/100g) dry weight. Mineral ranges (mg/100g dry weight, DW) were: K (4.63), Na (1.62), Ca (7.37), Fe (5.04), and Zn (3.83). Conclusion: Comparing proximate and minerals contents of the stem and the fruit, the results indicated that Asparagus officinalis stem could be a good supplement for some nutrients such as protein, lipid, potassium and zinc, fibre and carbohydrates while Momordica dioica fruit was good source of lipid, crude fiber, carbohydrates, iron and zinc.
The Central Black Sea region is in the northern part of Turkey. This region has a rich plant diversity. This study was carried out to determine the food values of some edible plants (Amaranthus retroflexus, Heracleum platytaenium, Ornithogalum sigmoideum, Chenopodium album, Cichorium intybus, Epi lobium angustifolium, Malva sylvestr is, Oxalis acetos ella, Plan-tago media, Polygonum cognatum and Smilax excelsa). The plants were collected in Ordu in 2004. The dry matter, nitrogen , phosphorus and protein contents were investigated in the studied plants. Dry matter contents were the highest in the stem of H. platytaenium. While the richest nitrogen and protein contents were the leaves of P. cognatum, the lowest contents were found in the stem of P. media. Although the maximum concentration of phosphorus was determined in the leaves of A. retroflexus, the lowest phosphorus concentration was found in the leaves of P. media.

Nutritional Analysis of Few Selected Wild Edible Leafy Vegetables of Tribal of Jharkhand, IndiaInternational Journal of Vegetable Science
. Nutritional status of exotic and indigenous vegetables2020 •
Indigenous vegetables are available at low cost but there is little information about their nutritional composition. The study was conducted to compare the nutritional status of exotic and indigenous vegetables. Most indigenous vegetables contained more minerals than exotic vegetables. Potassiumwas themost abundant macro-element (135–746 mg/100 g) followed by phosphorus (16–98 mg/100 g). The most calcium was in leaves of Colocasia esculenta (L) (238 mg/100 g). The most magnesium (91 mg/100 g) and Vitamin-C (76 mg/100 g) was in Nymphaea nouchali (Burman) bulb, and Brassica oleracea (L), respectively. Regular consumption of indigenous vegetables maymeet nutritional requirements in the human diet.

A STUDY OF WILD VEGETABLES: PROXIMATE AND MINERAL ANALYSIS OF SELECTED WILD EDIBLE VEGETABLES OF PARACHINAR, DISTRICT KURRAM KP, PAKISTAN2023 •
Wild vegetables have a crucial role in human life in connection with diet, medicine or other domestic uses. The five wild vegetables, i.e., Bistorta amplexicaulis, Chenopodium album, Nasturtium officinale, Citrullus colocynthis and Polygonum plebejum, were collected from the District Kurram of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, to estimate the mineral and nutritional composition of these plants. For the analysis of the nutritional composition, Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) methods and for minerals, atomic spectrometric methods were used. Chenopodium album showed the highest content of both moisture and nitrogen-free extract (15.12% and 72.97% respectively), while the ash content was highest in Nasturtium officinale (21%). In Polygonum plebejum, crude fiber content was the highest (12.74%), and the crude fat and protein content was the highest in Nasturtium officinale and Bistorta amplexicaulis (8.49% and 12.25%). The highest amount among all the minerals shown is Ca (102.7 mg/L) followed by K, Mg and Fe, (77.15, 17.26 and 2.964 mg/L). Among all proximate analysis and minerals content, only minor variations were observed. Agreement was found when the results were compared to other studies with slight differences, which might be due to climatic and regional conditions.
