ABSTRACT: Seeds of five wild plants of Leguminoseae family growing in the Chhattisgarh state viz. Australian Babool (Acacia auriculiformis); Pancha Sunkesula (Peltoforum ferrugineum); Kasood (Cassia siamea); Vilayati Kikkar (Parkinsonia aculeate) and Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora) were analysed for their proximate composition and micro-nutrient contents in them. Moisture, Ash, Total Organic Matter, Proteins, Fats, Crude Fibre, Carbohydrates, Nitrogen and Calorie contents of the five seeds are reported in this communication. Results of micro-nutrient (Fe+++, Mn++, Zn++ and Cu++) analyses are also given.
