In this study, there were 216 participants; 88 (40.7%) were men and 128 (59.3%) were women. The gender disparity in the study sample suggested that there were more women than men. The mean number of kitchen meals classified as medication among males (N = 88) was 10.08, with a standard deviation of 7.416 and a standard error of the mean of 0.791. In contrast, the mean for females (N = 128) is 9.79, with a standard deviation of 6.250 and a mean standard error of 0.552. Based on this, it was discovered that, although the difference is modest and falls within the range of variability reported for each group, males tend to report knowing a little bit more about medicinal foods in the kitchen than women. The very significant results (p<.001) indicate that there are significant gender-based differences in this knowledge. The study encourages the conservation and sustainable use of regional biodiversity, which will protect the loss of numerous habitats and mitigate environmental threats to plants, herbs, insects, and animals to strengthen ecological resilience.
