dc.description.abstractMany of our traditionally consumed food plants are not generally available on our dining tables due to the established food preferences of humans. These include edible wild plants with an alternative potential to be used as human food. Therefore, this chapter presents data on the vascular flora of Istanbul with an aim to list the potential food plants that could serve as a promising food source in the future because of food shortages that may arise from climate change. A total of 2258 vascular plant taxa belonging to 127 families have been identified in the checklist prepared for the flora of Istanbul. In the checklist, we have found out that consumption possibilities that include leaf parts of 242 taxa, fruits of 70 taxa, underground parts of 57 taxa, floral parts of 35 taxa, seeds of 26 taxa, and aboveground parts of 21 taxa depict potential for use as edible food plants. In many parts of Turkiye, especially in Istanbul and nearby areas, these identified taxa may serve as important edible food plants for humans, offering an alternative food source. © 2024 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.en_US
