ABSTRACT
In the past decade, the food-medicine continuum has come to the forefront of ethnobiological and ethnopharmacological research (Johns, 1990; Etkin, 1994, 1996; Prendergast et al., 1998). Plants may be used both as medicine and food, and it can often be difficult to draw a line between the two groups: food may be used as medicine and vice versa.
