Abstract
Vernonia amygdalina is a leafy vegetable which is widely used as local condiments in diet. The freshly harvested Vernonia amygdalina leaves were destalked, sorted, washed with potable water, dried, milled and packed prior analysis. The mineral content of Vernonia amygdalina leaves (bitter leaf) were investigated. The mineral contents for Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Zinc and Iron were 12.25±0.21mg/100g, 15.23±0.21mg/100g, 23.26±0.11mg/100g, 26±0.12mg/100g, 15.44±0.15mg/100g and 7.45±0.24mg/100g respectively. The result of the analysis showed that veronia Amygdalina could be a good source of important food nutrients.
