Assessment of Edible Wild Fruits

This book describes ethnobotanical exploration, taxonomic evaluation and nutraceutical assessment of twenty different edible wild fruit species. The detailed study includes taxonomy, morphology, organoleptography, micromorphology, palynology and ethnobotanical uses. The research project provides vital information for the selection and promotion of edible fruits, for increased utilization and better nutrition. These wild edible fruits not only serve as a source of nutrients and as an alternative and unorthodox source of food but also as good medicine.
