  abstract = {{T}he consumption of greens is reported as being very minor among {A}mazonian {I}ndians. {T}he authors of this article present a new review of this subject, based on fieldwork with {A}merindians and other populations in different parts of the {B}razilian {A}mazon and {F}rench {G}uiana. {W}ritten sources on {B}razilian, {P}eruvian, {C}olumbian and {V}enezuelan {A}mazon were also reviewed. {T}he consumption of cultivated, semi-cultivated and wild species of greens was taken into account here, as the data specific to wild greens is very scarce. {I}t is confirmed that greens are not commonly eaten among native {A}mazonians and that some ethnic groups do not consume them at all. {T}he consumed species are usually young shoots of weeds or cassava leaves. {C}ommon in the {B}elem region are some specific aromatic plants, which have been diffused to other parts of the {A}mazon, together with introduced plants such as kale and coriander. {M}igrants from {N}ortheastern {B}razil settled in the {A}mazon consume some cultivated greens, especially aromatic plants. {M}aroons are the ones who use more greens in their diet. {N}ative {A}mazonian people, who supplement agriculture with game and fish, follow a hunter-gatherer pattern, preferring wild fruit and tubers to greens.},
