Wild edible plant use in Tshopo district, DR Congo

Data from Oriental Province, northeast Congo (26 % rural, 74% urban*) Agro ecological zone is Tropics lowland, warm, farming system is Forest Based Research objectif: to assess the contribution of wild foods to diets in Kisangani and a rural Turumbu village Yaoseko) Data were collected using a 24 hour dietary intake recall, interviewer administered, portion sizes were assessed using photographs, price-weight conversion list, and direct measurements. Food composition data used was DR Congo (Degroote, 1965), complemented with data from Tanzania (Lukmanji, 2008) and USDA (2015). Food consumed were identified up to the species level. Herbarium specimens of wild plants were collected and identified using local flore references in herbarium of Yangambi (DR Congo) and Brussels (Belgium). food composition tables are De Groote V (1966)数据集来源于刚果东北部东方省（农村人口占26%，城市人口占74%*）。该区域属于热带低地农业生态区，气候温暖，采用林源型耕作体系。本研究的目标为评估野生食物在基桑加尼市以及图伦布乡村亚奥塞科（Yaoseko）村落居民膳食中的贡献。数据采集采用24小时膳食摄入回顾法，由访谈员执行；食物分量通过照片、价重转换表以及直接测量三种方式进行估算。本次研究使用的食物成分数据来源于刚果民主共和国（Degroote, 1965），并补充了坦桑尼亚（Lukmanji, 2008）及美国农业部（USDA, 2015）的相关数据。所摄入的食物均鉴定至物种级别。研究人员采集了野生植物的标本馆（Herbarium）标本，并借助刚果民主共和国扬比（Yangambi）标本馆与比利时布鲁塞尔标本馆的本地植物区系文献完成物种鉴定。所用食物成分表出自De Groote V（1966）。
