Abstract
Crassocephalum crepidioides (Asteraceae) is a wild plant that has long been used as food and traditional medicine. The use of plants as food ingredients is related to their nutritional content, while as traditional medicine they are related to their bioactive compounds. This study aims to explain the nutritional content and bioactivity of C. crepidioides. The method used in this study is a literature review on various scientific articles published online using the keywords C. crepidioides, bioactivities of C. crepidioides and uses of C. crepidioides. The results obtained were synthesized so as to explain the benefits and bioactivity of C. crepidioides. Ethnobotanically C. crepidioides is used to treat stomach ulcers, indigestion, wounds, ulcers, burns, treatment of wounds, gastric ulcers, and conditions related to the skin. In some countries C. crepidioides has been cultivated and traded. The bioactivity of C. crepidioides includes antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-hyperlipedemia, antidiabetic mellitus, antimalarial and anti-cancer. Utilization of C. crepidioides as a traditional medicine and food ingredient so that it has potential as a nutraceutical.
