Humans use thousands of plant types for food, with estimates suggesting that around 30,000 species of plants are edible. However, the majority of our diet is based on a relatively small number of staple crops, such as rice, wheat, maize, and potatoes, which contribute significantly to global food production. Overall, about 150 to 200 plant species are commonly cultivated and consumed on a large scale.
