Abstract

Objective: Plants, which are natural materials of great importance to humans, are currently utilised for various purposes. The utilisation of plants with nourishing properties for the treatment of diseases has a long history.
Material-Method:
In this study, the general characteristics, usage areas, mineral and nutrient contents, biological activities, and chemical compositions of Pimpinella species reported in the literature have been compiled. The literature review reveals that the plant is widely used in traditional medicine.
Results: Furthermore, it has been determined that they may serve as significant natural resources in terms of their mineral, nutritional, and chemical content. Furthermore, it has been observed based on reported data in the literature that Pimpinella species exhibit high levels of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.
Conclusion: Within this context, it has been observed that Pimpinella species can be significant sources not only in terms of their nutritional properties but also from a medicinal perspective.
