People in different parts of Nepal depend on plants and plant parts to fulfill their daily needs and have developed unique knowledge of their utilization. The communities have a rich knowledge of wild edible plants (WEPs). However, there have been very few studies on the documentation of WEPs which play an important role in survival of many ethnic groups in Nepal. This study aims to document information about WEPs of Parroha VDC in the Rupandehi district of Nepal. Information on the use of WEPs was collected in March-April 2007 and June-July 2008 by focus group discussions. Altogether 67 plant species belonging to 41 families and 57 genera were recorded as being used as a source of fruit, vegetables, pickle (achaar) or nectar of which, 51 species have single use, whereas 16 species have two or more uses. The majority of the species and trees (43%) and mushrooms represent the least (4%). The majority of plants and plant parts are used when fresh. Mainly low socio-economic status (SES) people are involved in collecting these resources and this traditional knowledge is declining as the younger generation shows less interest in using WEPs. The WEPs were used as supplements to food but information on the nutritional values and possible toxic effects are not known. Therefore, research in this field is necessary as this finding may help to counter the needs of people during a scarcity of food stuffs.
