Phytochemical Analysis of the Aerial Parts of Campanula pelviformis Lam. (Campanulaceae): Documenting the Dietary Value of a Local Endemic Plant of Crete (Greece) Traditionally Used as Wild Edible Green

Native wild edible greens usually include plants with widespread geographical ranges and represent a long tradition associated well-documented health effects, especially in the frame of Mediterranean diet. Although consuming local endemic range-restricted as is rare, some areas Crete this ethnobotanical tradition. The present study focused on phytochemical nutritional element analyses parts wild-growing green Campanula pelviformis. To date, nine secondary metabolites have been isolated: lobetyolin (1), calaliukiuenoside (2), demethylsyrrigin (3), wahlenoside A (4), chlorogenic acid methyl (5) butyl ester (6), nicotiflorin (7), rutin (8) corchoionoside (9). This first-time research composition plant basic step attempts to document its value, also allowing an exploration beneficial properties. value diet owes much inclusion native plants, which are abundant mineral elements bioactive compounds known promote human health. Among these Cretan species C. pelviformis stands out rare valuable source edibles traditional dietary significance eastern Crete. plant’s rich content makes it intriguing subject for further into potential benefits consumption.
