Alstroemeria is a genusGenus belonging to Alstroemeriaceae family, which have more than 200 speciesSpecies catalogued, mainly distributed in Central America, South America and Oceania regions. Its flowersFlower have been known in the ornamentalOrnamental flower marketFlower market and worldwide distributed over the last centuries. Countries, such as Chile and Brazil, in South America are listed as the main distribution centres of Alstroemeria flowersFlower. The ornamentalOrnamental use of these flowersFlower stands out among other potential applications, such as food and health-related ones. Some speciesSpecies of this genusGenus have been already associated as being edible, especially by indigenous communities. To perpetuate this genusGenus and its characteristics, such as colour and specific cultivationCultivation needs, some in vitro propagationPropagation techniques have been applied. All its colour abundance and variabilityVariability are due to its chemical composition, which consequently, reflects on the availability of bioactive molecules. These bioactive health-related components contribute for adding value to its rising commercial marketMarket. More studies aiming to deeply investigate this purpose are necessary to meet this emerging demand, as well as to define if there is any related toxicity of the plant parts, such as flowersFlower, stems and rhizomes. Thus, this knowledge can contribute to make the Alstroemeria genusGenus stand out as a multipurpose flowerFlower in different marketplaces.
