Samonikle mediteranske biljke kao tradicionalno povrće - tradicionalno znanje u općini Kršan (Istra, Hrvatska)

Istria is well-known as an agro-tourist region of Croatia with many family farms that produce good quality traditional homemade food. The researched area of Kršan municipality is located on the east coast and extends into the inland, in sub Mediterranean climate. Due to changes of lifestyle, and not sufficient documentation on the area, there is a threat of wild plants use traditional knowledge (TK) loss. The aim of study was to investigate the local TK and the present use of wild plants for food, medicinal plants and other uses. Here only the use of wild vegetables is presented. In this preliminary survey, conducted in 2017, the uses of 36 wild, non-cultivated vegetables from 22 families were documented. Most represented families are Apiaceae and Amaryllidaceae, and the most commonly collected species are: Asparagus acutifolius, Cichorium intybus, Ruscus aculeatus, Tamus communis, Taraxacum officinale, Foeniculum vulgare, Crithmum maritimum, Urtica dioica, Sonchus asper, S. oleraceus, Diplotaxis tenuifolius, Chenopodium album, Geranium robertianum, Humulus lupulus, Plantago major, and Silene latifolia. The use of "zeje" mixture, vegetable food traditionally eaten on a big Friday, is interesting. We conclude that wild vegetables are consumed nowadays to less extent than decades ago and the re-introduction of old tradition ethno-culinary events and even a greater development of agri-, eco- and gastro-tourism is needed to preserve TK. Herbarium specimens are available in ZAGR Virtual herbarium (http://herbarium.agr.hr/).
