Wild edible plants play a vital role in the food habits of rural and tribal communities across the world and important source of nutrients in the day-to-day life. The present study aims to analyze the nutritional value of selected wild edible leaves used by the tribal communities in Attappady valley of Kerala. It was found that nutritional content of these wild edible leaves are higher than the known vegetables and green leaves. Protein content was found rich and the maximum value is observed in Leptadenia reticulata. Selected plants are also rich in Vitamin C which is higher than in the conventional leafy vegetables. Presence of nutrient elements such as calcium and iron is found maximum in Leptadenia reticulata and phosphorous in Diplazium esculentum.
