Nagaland is a state that is blessed with favorable environmental conditions which favors the growth of diverse plant species. During the current study, 26 UEPs were documented and identified from the study area. The rich diversity of underutilized plants in Dimapur and the rest of Nagaland can be judiciously exploited for the betterment of society. These plants are known to be rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds that have the potential to improve health and provide nutritional security. The present world situation necessitates the importance of these plants as a significant food source especially for the native population. There is the need for further research into these underutilized plants to establish them as an important food resource. The study's major goal was to raise awareness about UEPs' potential and to catalogue the UEPs that are already available in Dimapur, which would serve as a database for future research and commercial purposes.
