Abstract
Present communication describes 30 angiospermic weeds of crop-fields commonly consumed as vegetables by the people of Nalbari District (undivided) in Assam. Due to lack of any information regarding edible weeds in the crop-fields of undivided Nalbari District, an extensive survey for a period of two years was conducted both in Rabi and Kharif seasons. To cite information regarding the edible weeds of the crop-fields, their botanical names along with respective families, vernacular names, localities, mode of consumption and utilities as food have been mentioned. The utilization of these undesired but useful weeds can make the fields free from weeds. Moreover, the crop-field weeds may play an important role as source of additional income to the farmers. These weeds having nutritional values provide promising scope of utilizing them as normal or scarcity or famine foods too. So, comprehensive investigations should be carried out on the nutritional status of these plants.
