Since the dawn of human civilization, plants have been a valuable source of natural products for maintaining human health. The natural plant products are known to be chemically balanced, effective and least injurious with no side effects. Consumption of fresh fruits can bring substantial health benefits. In India due to diversity in climate, soil, altitude and other eco geographical conditions, rich resource of wild/ underutilized fruits are available in this region. These underutilized have never demanded attention of the researchers but have chiefly served as a natural source of treatment for curing various diseases and ailments of the tribals/ local inhabitants.
