Abstract: Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, and this abundant variety of life translates into more than 20% of the total number of species on Earth. There are over 3,000 potential food plant species still underexplored in Brazil, many of them being native species. Many plant species that were widely consumed in the past are no longer consumed and are considered ruderal, being known as unconventional food plants (UFPs). This work aims to compile recent information on the bioactive composition of unconventional food plants. Carotenoids are the bioactive compounds that most appear in publications involving unconventional food plants and fruits.
