This thesis examines the ethnobotanical characteristics of the traditional use of wild edible plants by the local population of the Jizzakh region. The study is based on the analysis of scientific literature and available sources, focusing on plant diversity, methods of use, and their significance as food resources. The results indicate that certain wild plants have long been widely used by the local population as a source of food, and that the accumulated traditional knowledge holds important ethnobotanical value.
