Nutrients And Antinutritional Factors At Different Maturity Stages Of Selected Indigenous African Green Leafy Vegetables

ABSTRACT

A study was conducted to determine the effect of maturity stage on selected nutrients and

anti-nutritional factors in selected indigenous African leafy vegetables namely Amaranths

(Madiira Ex zim, and Madiira AM 38), African nightshade (Nduruma BG 16 and

Olevolosi SS 49) and Spider plant. Vegetables were planted on plots and harvested at three

vitamin C, iron and zinc and anti-antinutional factors (oxalate, phytate and

nitrate).Vitamin C increased significantly (p
