    1 Kalay University Research Journal, Vol.9, No.1, 2019 AN ETHNOBOTANICAL STUDY ON SOME EDIBLE PLANTS IN NORTHERN CHIN STATE, MYANMAR Kyaw Kyaw Lwin* ABSTRACT Plant produces mainly from the cultivated or wild plants grown in Chin State were thoroughly studied with the ethnobotany. The present study included the economically important ( 5 ) species belonging to ( 5 ) genera of ( 4 ) families. These are ( 5 ) species are cultivated plants in this study. Edible plant parts are mature seeds, young pods, fruits and grains. Plant parts are eaten raw, cooked, salad and boiled. The outstanding features of source plants, parts used and traditional preparations, and uses of a traditional food are also presented with photographs. Keywords: Ethnobotany, Northern Chin State, Myanmar. INTRODUCTION Human being survives by using the material from his natural environment since human being is evolved on the earth. The plant plays one of the supporting roles on the survival of man from that time to present day. Ever since his appearance on the earth, man used plants as food, medicines, fibres, clothes and shelter, etc. For their basic needs, man obtained from wild plants from flora in his early life, before civilization is appeared. Then man domesticated wild plants to produce the food called agriculture. It has been estimated that about 3,000 species of plants have been used as food by human being throughout history and that about 200 species have been domesticated as food crops. Today plants are not only cultivated for food, but also for other man‟s requirements, such as fibres, latexe and resins, dyes, tannin and drugs, etc.
