Abstract

The Amaranthaceae family has a cosmopolitan geographical distribution, their species inhabit arid environments, saline habitats and disturbed areas. Due to the considerable number of species of this family located in the state it is possible that some of these have a use and are commercia- lized. In order to determine how many species of the Amaranthaceae family are used in Aguascalientes and which are commercialized, markets were visited and 26 informants from 13 towns of the state were interviewed, the information obtained was complemented with data obtained from specialized bibliography to know potential uses. Only 11 of the 29 species reported for Aguascalientes are used, mainly as edible and medicinal and only seven are commercialized. Four species with some potential use were also identified giving a total of 15 that can be used and that represent more than 50 % of the species of the Amarantha- ceae family present in the state.
