A study on the nutritional and toxic substances of three wild food plants consumed in the Tshopo province of the Democratic Republic of Congo was made before cooking. It appears from this study that these berries may constitute dietary supplements of value as regards the crude protein, fat, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and vitamins. However, many of these plants may also contain toxic substances (oxalates) or undesirable substances (tannins and saponins). All these results justify the use of these plants by the population in Tshopo province.
