Abstract This study, conducted in 5 groups (Bangengele Chiefdom) on the outskirts of the Lomami National Park, aims to identify wild food plants. The data collection method is based on collective ethnobotanical observations and interviews. Seventy-five constituted the size of our sample over our entire study area. Thirty-seven edible plant species have been listed. The organs and products used are mainly fruits (68%), leaves (16%), tubers (8%), bark (3%), root (3%).The wild edible plants inventoried are found in forest, savannah and fallow land, but with a predominance in the forest environment. In addition, the biological type analysis carried out on all the plants harvested highlights the presence of trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants and lianas. But we see that woody species trees are more represented with 45.94% followed by lianas with 24% then herbaceous at 18.91% often present in the fallow near the different villages and at the end, shrubs are less represented at only 10.81%..The edible wild NWFPs exploited in the Bangengele chiefdom are more intended for self-consumption, only Thirteen species out of the 37 are marketed locally. Most of the products consumed are processed (cooked, grilled or boiled), and the rest are eaten raw
