Abstract
The Euphorbiaceae, commonly known as the spurge family, is a large and diverse family of flowering plants. As the fifth-largest flowering plant family, it comprises approximately 7,500 species distributed across 300 genera (Kemboi et al., 2020). The presence of milky latex is the characteristic feature of this family. Some members are rich in dietary proteins, carbohydrates, fats, oils, vitamins, and minerals. However, some members also contain antinutritional compounds such as triterpenoid saponins, phorbol esters, lectins, etc.
