Abstract: Bio-cultural and historical aspects of the "wild plant" portion of the Mediterranean Diet are still very much understudied despite the large number of bio-medical studies on the topic. Th e current gastronomic ethnobotanical and ethnolinguistic fi eld study focused on the wild leafy vegetables used among Greek populations in SE Italy and NE Greece. A total of 52 folk taxa, corresponding to 58 wild botanical species, were recorded. Th e frequency of consumption of these wild ingredients was higher in NE Greece … Show more

“…Indeed, the artichoke may have been domesticated in Roman times in Sicily and later spread by Arabs all over the Western Mediterranean Basin [44,45]. The food use of thistles among pastoral societies has been found not only in Sardinia, but also in other inland Mediterranean areas such as Central Italy [46], Spain [47,48], and NE Greece [49]. Moreover, in a few pastoralist communities of the Mediterranean Basin, cardu species have been used as plant rennet in the cheese-making process underlining the long-term link between these species and pastoral activity [50,51].…”

“…Overall the research region showed a lower species number in comparison to a wide variety of studies published from other parts of Europe. The number of food species was low in comparison to other areas in the wider Mediterranean and Caucasus (Carvalho 2016;Dolina et al 2017;Hajdari et al 2018;Kasper-Pakosz et al 2016;Korkmaz et al 2016;Mattalia et al 2020;Melián et al 2017;Mustafa et al 2020;Nedelcheva et al 2017;Oztürk et al 2018;Polat et al 2017;Pawera et al 2017;Pieroni and Cattero 2018;Pieroni andSõukand 2017, 2019;Pieroni 2017;Pieroni et al , 2020Savo et al 2019;Sõukand et al 2017Sõukand et al , 2019Sõukand et al , 2020Yeşil et al 2019), and the number of medicinal species also was lower than in comparative studies (Pieroni and Sõukand 2017;Nedelcheva et al 2017;Melián et al 2017;Sõukand et al-2017;Carvalho 2016;Polat et al 2017;Kasper-Pakosz et al 2016;Korkmaz et al 2016a;Dolina et al 2017, Korkmaz et al 2016bHajdari et al 2018;Oztürk et al 2018;Pawera et al 2017;Pieroni 2017;. The low variety of fungal species used as food was astonishing, especially when compared to other adjacent areas in Georgia, e.g.…”

“…More than five thousand years ago, Egyptians were already using plants we use today as natural ingredients for cosmetics, such as thyme, chamomile, lavender, lily, peppermint, rosemary, and aloe, and the practice was later adopted by Roman and Greek civilizations ( Gonzalez-Minero and Bravo-Diaz, 2018 ). The knowledge on the use of plants to treat the skin has been preserved through the centuries not only in populations living in rural areas but even in highly industrialized countries of Europe; through interviews of local people, tens of species of local plants are often identified as ailments in each study and the knowledge resides with the women of the community ( Quave et al., 2008 ; Ambu et al., 2020 ; Miraldi et al., 2017 ; Pieroni and Cattero, 2019 ; Voeks, 2007 ; Zobolo and Mkabela, 2006 ). These studies often, however, denounce a loss of knowledge with the generations.…”
