| Sumario: | This contribution is part of the urban ethnobotany research line whose main objective is to study botanical knowledge in the urban and peri-urban environment. This work is oriented to know the ethnospecies (which include plant species and local botanical varieties) used by the Bolivian families of the La Plata horticultural belt for the elaboration of their typical/daily dishes. Six fairs and 22 vegetable and fruit sales stalls in the urban area were surveyed, three of which concentrate the largest number of registered ethnospecies: Solanaceae (13), Cucurbitaceae (8) and Brassicaceae (6); along with the part of the plant that is commercialized, being the fresh fruits in bulk the predominant form (59%). This contribution expands knowledge of the diet of migrants, the uses and adaptation of their gastronomy. In conclusion, the sellers reported that they use all the ethnospecies that they sell in their daily cooking, fulfilling an important role within their home, as well as their crops that increase the local agrobiodiversity.
