Plantas alimentícias não convencionais

Plantas alimentícias não convencionais (lit.'non-conventional food plants'), known by the acronym PANC, is an academic and popular movement in Brazil in favor of propagating and foraging for unconventional edible plants. The name refers to species with food potential that are not consumed on a large scale (such as Victoria amazonica), or to parts that are not usually consumed in common plants (such as sweet potato leaves).
