Humans evolved from ancestral apes and our genes are still reflecting of our vegetation and small animal eating past. Evolved in Africa and then Asia, we ate a huge range of leaves, buds, flowers, stems, gums, ischolar_mains, tubers, fruits and even pollen before we learned agriculture.1 During agriculture evolution some preferred plants were selected for cultivation, while use of several wild edibles continued even today after thousands of years. During the survey of North Maharashtra for documentation of wild edible food plants; 149 plants were noted to be edible. Different plant parts such as ischolar_mains (5), tubers (11), tender shoots (5), leaves (65), flowers (35), fruits (48), seeds (16) and gum(6)were found to be exploited as edible. Present paper deals with the documentation of wild edible gum yielding plants of north Maharashtra.
