Abstract
The Aizoaceae, also known as the fig-marigold family, is a large and diverse family of dicotyledonous flowering plants. It consists of about 135 genera and around 1,800 species. They are succulent plants, meaning their leaves and stems store water, which helps them survive in hot, dry climates. Some Aiozoaceae members are a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium and magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and dietary fibers. However, some members contain oxalic acid, which can interfere with the absorption of minerals like calcium and iron (Lokhande et al., 2013).
