Non-cultivated vegetables whose basal leaves have been traditionally consumed in Spain were evaluated for their potential in human nutrition, considering vitamin C, organic acids, tocopherols, phenolics and flavonoids, and antioxidant activity. As far as we know, this is the first report on organic acids and vitamin C of Anchusa azurea and Apium nodiflorum, on tocopherols of Anchusa azurea, Beta vulgaris, Chond...
Wild Allium species with a long tradition of use, such as Allium ampeloprasum L. could provide interesting bioactive compounds to current diet. The nutrient and bioactive compound content of this wild vegetable has been scarcely known. Therefore, the aim of this work is to provide a detailed chemical quantification of nutrients, hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactive compounds and the antioxidant capacity of the ...
En los últimos años se han llevado a cabo diversos estudios para evaluar el potencial nutricional y funcional de las plantas silvestres comestibles. Algunas de ellas son una buena fuente de compuestos bioactivos y han demostrado tener una interesante actividad biológica como antioxidantes. Por ello, este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal evaluar la actividad biológica in vitro de la parte comestible de 20 ...

Background: We compare traditional knowledge and use of wild edible plants in six rural regions of the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula as follows: Campoo, Picos de Europa, Piloña, Sanabria and Caurel in Spain and Parque Natural de Montesinho in Portugal. Methods: Data on the use of 97 species were collected through informed consent semistructured interviews with local informants. A semi-quantitative approach...
This paper compares the traditional knowledge and use of wild edible plants in six rural regions of the Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Five of them are in Spain: Campoo, Picos de Europa, Piloña, Sanabria and Caurel and the sixth is in Portugal, Parque Natural de Montesinho.
The ethnobotanical use of botanical and mycological species suggests a high relationship between local uses and chemical composition in volatile compounds(e.g.bioactivity of the secondary metabolites produced) of the wild flora from the PNM. However, these species have not been explored systematically as nutraceuticals or as species with ethnopharmacological potential. These assumptions increase the interest in...
The aim of this paper is to study the plants species and techniques used for basket making and its social context, in rural communities of the Natural Park of Montesinho, in north-eastern Portugal
