Dear Robert, Much clearer J You may also want to take a look at Carol J. Pierce Colfer: Human Health and Forests: A Global Overview of Issues, Practice, and Policy available as a Google book, see https://books.google.dk/books?isbn=1849771626. Especially chapter 4 (page 63 and beyond), “The nutritional role of forest plant foods for rural communities” may find your interest. Have you made a Google Scholar search on “forest plant foods nutrient composition Congo” (without quotes)? For the caterpillars, make a Google Scholar search on “nutrient composition caterpillars” or “nutrient composition caterpillars Congo” (again without quotes). You will get quite a few references to papers with nutrient composition of caterpillars, and quite a few of them are online.

I am interested in nutrient composition of forest plant foods (fruits/leaves) picked from plants and or timber producing species of the Congo Basin forest. Also, data on nutrient composition of edible caterpillars would be much appreciated. I hope I am clear now. Yes, I have looked at some of the INFOODs Africa food composition tables.

There are several tables/publications available for download. If you already did, could you maybe specify a little more what you are looking for – the subject “West and Central African foods, with a focus on forest foods” is quite broad.

Please share your literature/publication with me, even if it is country specific. You will be acknowledged in my report/publication.
