Abstract
The Convolvulaceae family, commonly known as the morning glory family, boasts a vibrant display of flowering plants. The most interesting character is the flower's corolla, it is typically funnel-shaped, with five fused petals forming a trumpet-like structure. The family consists of 60 genera and 2000 species (Simoes et al., 2022). Some members are a good source of vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin C, and B vitamin, dietary fibers, and essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron.
