Ethnobotany, Canakkale, food plant.
In this study, the plants consumed as human food in the Yenice district of Canakkale, located in the Troy region, were evaluated in terms of ethnobotany. The plants that the local people living in the region consume as food and their usage patterns have been determined on a district basis. These plants are mostly collected from nature by people living in rural areas or used by purchasing them from the market established in the district center. While 64 taxa out of 112 taxa used for food purposes in the study area are grown naturally, 48 taxa are produced and consumed. In addition, 5 types of mushrooms, which are edible and sold in local markets, are also used as food. The leaves of 49 taxa, fruits of 43 taxa, stems of 26 taxa, flowers of 24 taxa, seeds of 10 taxa and roots of 5 taxa are consumed from plants used as food. These plants are consumed raw, cooked, seasoned, frozen, dried, pickled and canned.
