In the Puebla, state 17 markets have been studied; of which 11 belong to the Puebla city and the others to different municipalities. In these studies, there is no homogeneity in terms of the information collected, this reflects the inconsistency in the sampling, in addition to the fact that most of the works focus on the medicinal area and very few on the edible one. Therefore, the aim of the study was to carry out an analysis of the edible species that are traded in the "El Moralillo" market in Tepexi de Rodríguez, Puebla, Mexico. The study began with visits to the market where the edible plants were registered, and structured surveys were applied to the merchants. The number of posts that make up the basic structure of the market was counted at the beginning, as well as the edible species that are commercialized in the premises through the presence-absence during the year. These data were used to estimate the species of smaller and greater presence. In the market, 593 posts were registered, where 15 categories are identified, of which, fruits and vegetables represent 30% of the posts. 95 edible species are offered, distributed in 95 genera and 49 families; the families with the highest number of species were Fabaceae and Solanaceae. In fruits, 33 species of greater presence were identified and 37 species of vegetables with greater presence. The vegetal structure of greater commercialization was the fruit, leaf, root, seed, leaf, stem and bulb, specifically. The "El Moralillo" market is a traditional market. The quantitative analysis of the species that are commercialized indicates that many of the species with less presence are seasonal and collected from natural communities, and this may cause, in the medium term, the lack of juvenile organisms that replace the mature and old ones.
