| Abstract: | The paper describes 31 plants species belonging to 15 families, used as raw edibles by the tribal communities of Ladakh region. Various plant parts, viz. bulbs, roots, leaves, leaf-stalks, fruits and seeds used in different ways such as edibles fruits, Chutnies, edibles in salads and used for flavouring food products are discribed. In far-flung areas where, there is no communication available, the tribal communities are still dependant on wild resources for fulfilling their daily needs. |
