This study aimed to analyze and integrate scientific evidence on Non-Conventional Food Plants (PANC), emphasizing their nutritional, functional, socio-environmental, and sociocultural aspects within the Brazilian context. This is a narrative literature review with a qualitative and exploratory approach. The bibliographic search was conducted in SciELO, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, using the descriptors “Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais,” “PANC,” “non-conventional food plants,” and “wild edible plants,” combined with related terms such as biodiversity, sustainability, and sociocultural barriers. Articles published between 2000 and 2024 were included, totaling approximately 30 studies analyzed through qualitative narrative synthesis and organized into thematic axes addressing biodiversity, nutritional profile, food security, and traditional valorization.The findings indicate that Brazil holds extensive biodiversity of edible species, many of which are rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, sociocultural, structural, and market barriers still limit their incorporation into contemporary food systems. It is concluded that PANC represent a relevant strategy for dietary diversification, promotion of food security, and strengthening of family farming, contributing to more sustainable and resilient food systems.
