Plants have been used for various purposes throughout human history. Widely used for therapeutic purposes, the usage of plants as food is also of interest. In this study, the usage of wild and cultivated plants as foods was investigated in the Konak Region between May 2015 and November 2016. 102 individuals were interviewed, but valuable and relevant information for the study was obtained from 19 individuals. A total of 79 plant species belonging to 31 families, 53 of which are wild and 26 cultivated plants, have been identified. From these plants; it has been determined that yoghurt meatballs, yoghurt soup, stuffed leaves, pickle, sherbet, jam, fruit leather, marmalade, molasses, compote, stuffed meatballs, plum sour, dolma, soup, tea and pastries were prepared. Of the plants; 34 were used directly as fresh, 32 were used as tea, 33 were used for cooking and three species were firstly determined to be used in stuffed leaves preparation. It should be known that detailed researches are needed to evaluate the plants used by the local people in terms of human health and nutritional values.
Bitkiler insanlık tarihi boyunca çeşitli amaçlarla kullanılmıştır. Genellikle tedavi amaçlı kullanılan bitkilerin, gıda olarak kullanımı da ilgi çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Konak Bölgesi'nde gıda olarak kullanılan yabani ve kültür bitkileri Mayıs 2015 ile Kasım 2016 tarihleri arasında araştırılmıştır. 102 kişiyle görüşülmüş, ancak çalışmaya katkı sağlayacak nitelikli bilgi, 19 kişiden elde edilmiştir. 53'ü yabani, 26'i kültür bitkisi olmak üzere 31 familyaya ait toplam 79 bitki türü tespit edilmiştir. Bu bitkilerden; yoğurtlu köfte, yoğurtlu çorba, yaprak sarması, turşu, şerbet, reçel, pestil, marmelat, pekmez, komposto, içli köfte, erik ekşisi, dolma, çorba, çay ve börek yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bitkilerden 34’ü taze olarak doğrudan, 32’si çay olarak, 33’ü çeşitli işlemlerle yemek yapımında kullanılmış ve üç türün ilk defa yaprak sarmasında kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Yöre halkının kullandığı bitkilerin insan sağlığı ve besin değerleri açısından değerlendirilmesi için detaylı araştırmalara ihtiyaç olduğu bilinmelidir.
