Abstract
An ethnobotanical study was carried out in Pertek (Tunceli, Turkey) between April 2009-June 2012. For this purpose, the center of Pertek and all of the 45 villages were visited. During the field works, 627 plant specimens were collected and various ethnobotanical information regarding these plants was classified. In this paper wild edible plants of Pertek are presented.
This investigation revealed that 109 taxa belonging to 30 families are being used by local people for nutrition. These are presented in Table 1. The plants are mostly used as food (73 taxa), beverage (30 taxa) and, spice (12 taxa). This study is the first comprehensive survey of ethnobotanical aspects of Pertek region and all taxa presented in Table 1. are recorded as food for the first time in Pertek. All of the 73 plants utilized as food in Tunceli and 3 taxa of them in Turkey are recorded for the first time.

Abstract
Nisan 2009-Haziran 2012 tarihleri arasında Pertek (Tunceli)
ilçesinde yapılmış etnobotanik bir çalışmadır. Bu amaçla
Pertek ilçe merkezi ve 45 köyünün hepsi ziyaret edilmiştir.
Arazi çalışması süresince 627 bitki örneği toplanmış ve bu
bitkilerle ilgili çeşitli etnobotanik bilgiler derlenmiştir.
Etnobotanik araştırmanın bir kısmı olan bu makalede Pertek
yöresinin yabani besin bitkileri sunulmuştur.
Bu araştırma yörede 30 familyaya ait 109 taksonun besin
amacıyla kullanıldığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bitkilerden
çoğunlukla yiyecek olarak (73 takson), içeçek olarak (30
takson) ve baharat olarak (12 takson) yararlandığı tespit
edilmiştir. Bu çalışma Pertek yöresinde yapılmış olan ilk
geniş kapsamlı etnobotanik araştırmadır ve bitkilerin besin
olarak kullanılışı bu yöreden ilk kez kaydedilmiştir. Makalede
yer alan 73 bitkinin tümü Tunceli ilinde, 3’ü (Bellevalia
gracilis, Leontodon crispus subsp. asper var. setulosus,
Onosma giganteum) ise Türkiye’de ilk kez besin olarak
kaydedilmiştir
