Wild-harvested plants are species that grow naturally in forests, grasslands, or other ecosystems and are collected rather than cultivated. They are often important for subsistence, traditional medicine, or as seasonal foods, especially in rural communities. Examples include American groundnut, Common thyme, and Wild rice. Some wild species, such as mushrooms or wild asparagus, are also sold in markets or used in gourmet cuisine. In certain cases, these plants are also grown in small-scale cultivation alongside their wild collection. This dual status reflects both their cultural value and potential for sustainable use.
