A Review on Phytochemical Investigation of Himalayan Wild Berries and their Activities

Abstract Wild edible fruits and berries are nutritious food sources that have been used for a very long time as a possible supply of vitamins and minerals. It is well recognised that many of the edible wild fruits and berries provide a significant source of antioxidants. Several non-conventional fruits with untapped commercial potential and nutritional value may be found in the Himalayan region. The Himalayan region’s enormous range of wild edibles not only offers nutrient-dense food, but also a means of subsistence for the tribal and destitute people who live adjacent to woods and rural regions. In this review, we are going to study five Himalayan wild berries (Euterpe oleracea, Vaccinium myrtillu, Phyllanthus embilica, Rubus ellipticus Rubus niveus) and their activities.
