Beninese’s dietary habits related to Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus), African basil (Ocimum gratissimum) and African eggplant (Solanum macrocarpon) were studied in eleven districts of Republic of Benin. Data were collected from five hundred households on their consumption habits. Results showed that these leafy vegetables are consumed, either alone or accompanied by other leafy vegetables, depending on seasonal availability, health-promotion, and taste. Diversification and greater access to leafy green vegetables could improve individuals’ nutritional profile.
