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)

本数据集源自刚果民主共和国东北部东方省（农村人口占比26%，城镇人口占比74%*），该区域农业生态区（agroecological zone）为热带低地，气候温暖，耕作体系为森林基型（forest-based farming system）。本研究的目标为评估野生食物对基桑加尼（Kisangani）以及图伦布（Turumbu）农村村寨亚奥塞科（Yaoseko）居民膳食的贡献。数据通过访员实施的24小时膳食回顾法（24-hour dietary intake recall）采集，食物分量通过照片、价重转换清单以及直接测量进行估算。所用食物成分数据源自刚果民主共和国（DR Congo，德格鲁特，1965），并补充了坦桑尼亚（卢克曼吉，2008）以及美国农业部（USDA，2015）的相关数据。所摄入的食物均鉴定至物种层级。野生植物的腊叶标本（herbarium specimen）通过刚果民主共和国扬加比（Yangambi）标本馆与比利时布鲁塞尔标本馆内的本土植物区系参考资料完成采集与鉴定。食物成分表出自德·格罗特V（1966）
