Justification not yet generated — showing supporting facts

• The ethnobotanical survey methodology consisted of guided surveys following individual interviews with informants to list and collect edible plants known to be medicinal.
• The study identified edible plant species through an ethnobotanical survey using three criteria: (i) all useful species growing in agroforestry plots, (ii) all edible species identified by consulting knowledgeable individuals, and (iii) species available at the time of sampling.
• Prior ethnobotanical studies in tropical regions, including Africa, Angola, and Ethiopia, indicate that a large proportion of wild medicinal and edible plants remain unevaluated despite their socio-economic and cultural importance.
