The use of wild tree species as a traditional food is an age-old practice of various ethnic communities of Manipur, Northeast India. In this study, we explored the importance of wild tree vegetables in contributing to dietary practices and supporting the economic livelihoods of three ethnic communities (Meitei, Tangkhul, and Kuki) in Manipur. We identified 32 wild tree species from 16 families that are used as traditional vegetables. We assessed their mode of use, market value, relative frequency of citation (RFC), direct matrix ranking, medicinal fidelity level (FL), and other use categories. Zanthoxylum armatum showed the highest RFC value (0.97), followed by Wendlandia glabrata (0.96). Direct matrix ranking revealed Dysoxylum excelsum as the species with the highest number of use categories. Species such as Cycas pectinata, Senegalia pennata, and Dysoxylum excelsum were greatly valued in the market. We found that Clerodendrum colebrookianum, Zanthoxylum armatum, and Oroxylum indicum were highly preferred medicinal tree vegetable species, all with an FL score of 100%. By examining species with high culinary, ethnomedicinal, and economic values to local communities, we propose domestication, commercial cultivation, and conservation as future strategies to enhance dietary practices and biocultural sustainability.

印度东北部曼尼普尔邦三个民族社区将野生树木作为传统蔬菜的饮食用途的民族植物学研究

使用野生树种作为传统食物是印度东北部曼尼普尔邦各民族社区的古老做法。在这项研究中,我们探讨了野生树木蔬菜在促进曼尼普尔邦三个民族社区(Meitei、Tangkhul 和 Kuki)的饮食习惯和支持经济生计方面的重要性。我们鉴定出 16 科 32 种用作传统蔬菜的野生树种。我们评估了它们的使用方式、市场价值、相对引用频率 (RFC)、直接矩阵排名、药物保真度 (FL) 和其他使用类别。花椒 (Zanthoxylum armatum)的 RFC 值最高 (0.97),其次是光滑温德兰 (Wendlandia glabrata ) (0.96)。直接矩阵排名显示Dysoxylum excelsum是使用类别数量最多的物种。梳状苏铁(Cycas pectinata)塞内加利亚(Senegalia pennata)红木(Dysoxylum excelsum)等物种在市场上的价值很高。我们发现Clerodendrum colebrookianumZanthoxylum armatumOroxylum indicum是高度首选的药用树种蔬菜,其 FL 评分均为 100%。通过研究对当地社区具有较高烹饪、民族药用和经济价值的物种,我们提出驯化、商业种植和保护作为增强饮食习惯和生物文化可持续性的未来策略。
