RESUMO:
It is estimated that there is a potential worldwide supply of food from a rich diversity of plants. However, many species are still unknown to the majority of the population and others that were consumed by ancestral generations ended up falling into disuse, now being called Neglected and Underused Plants (NUS). NUS consumption has been declining globally, including among family farmers who are considered to be their greatest connoisseurs. Thus, this study sought to know the existence and how neglected and underused plants (NUS) are inserted in the food and cultural context of family farmers in Amargosa, Bahia. A cross-sectional, exploratory study was conducted with a quantitative and qualitative approach, involving four stages: survey of the existence of NUS species; identification of rural communities where knowledgeable family farmers (or not) of NUS lived; home visiting and interviewing; collection of botanical material. Seven rural communities were identified and thirteen family farmers interviewed. Most of the interviewees (61.53%) were elderly, had incomplete elementary school level and 46.15% received up to one minimum wage. They were all daughters of farmers and had been working in agriculture for about 53 years. Regarding the NUS, 42 species were identified, 19 spontaneous, 17 cultivated and 06 referred to mixed, found mainly in backyards. Plant consumption was common in rural communities, emphasizing that those classified as fruits were consumed in natura; vegetables were more varied and consumed in different ways, with leaves being the most used part; roots and tubers were consumed cooked, especially at breakfast; beans and legumes were substitutes for carioca beans. Among the reasons presented for the consumption of NUS, the following stood out: providing flavor to the meals, presenting medicinal action and the quality of natural foods. Most of the interviewees (76.93%) reported not selling the NUS, justifying having small agricultural property; the production is intended for the subsistence of the family; and plants have little economic value compared to agricultural products of greater commercial appeal. The knowledge about NUS was shared with the family. In conclusion, NUS were part of the families diet and represented a way of community socialization, perpetuation of knowledge, aggregation of values to the act of eating and sustainability in the production process. However, commercialization was limited, revealing the need for dissemination and use of NUS among the population.
