The wild edibles of the Himalayas need to be promoted as a horticultural crop and the farmers/local people need to be encouraged to develop/establish nurseries of these wild edibles.

The information on such plants may help to add variety to the monotonous diet so that requirements of minerals and vitamins etc. are easily met and help in publicizing the hitherto less known resources of wild fruits to many naturalists, visitors, tourists, mountaineers, researchers, and the local population.
