在尼日利亚东北部的两个农村定居的富拉尼族村庄进行了调查的饮食习惯和食用野生植物的使用（n = 100名成年受试者）。获得了5岁以下儿童、孕妇和哺乳期妇女以及老年人的饮食模式和医疗数据。通过狩猎、采集、农业、园艺、畜牧业、粮食交换和现金购买，这两个地点的饮食保持多样化。与儿童有关的可食用野生植物包括Baure（Ficus sycomorus）、Faru（Lannea schiniolia）、giginya（Gardenia aqualla）、kokiya（Strychnos spinosa）和nunu（Parinari curatellitolia）的果实。哺乳期妇女食用芝华（Veronia colorate）的叶子，以刺激母乳生产。一般来说，食用baure（Ficus sycomorus）的果实来对抗胃痛;食用kisni（Bridelia ferrugalus）的果实来治疗腹泻;食用kuka（Adansonia digitata）的树皮来增加体重。由于当地和区域的洪水泛滥，粮食储存在雨季比旱季更重要。成年富拉尼族男子骑自行车去遥远的市场，妇女则步行去市场，有时每天消耗3 200千卡热量。
Two rural settled Fulani villages in northeast Nigeria were surveyed for dietary practices and use of edible wild plants (n = 100 adult subjects). Dietary patterns and medical data were obtained for children under 5, pregnant and lactating women and the elderly. A diversified diet was maintained at both geographical locations through hunting, gathering, agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, food exchanges and cash purchases. Edible wild plants associated with children included fruits of baure (Ficus sycomorus), faru (Lannea schiniperi), giginya (Gardenia aqualla), kokiya (Strychnos spinosa) and nunu (Parinari curatellitolia). Leaves of shiwaka (Veronia colorate) were consumed by lactating women to stimulate breastmilk production. Generally, fruits of baure (Ficus sycomorus) were eaten to counter stomach pain; fruits of kisni (Bridelia ferruginea) were eaten to treat diarrhea; and bark of kuka (Adansonia digitata) was consumed for weight gain. Food storage was more important during wet seasons than dry because of local and regional flooding. Adult Fulani men rode to distant markets on bicycles, while women walked to market and in some instances expended 3200 kcal/day engaging in this activity.
