ABSTRACT

Minerals play an important role in the metabolic regulations of human body. Wild vegetables and fruits can be important and cheaper sources of minerals. In present study, B. variegata and C. dichotoma two wild foods with their two stages of maturity were analyzed for their mineral content. The study revealed that buds of B. variegata and immature fruits of C. dichotoma were high in calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and zinc than mature stage. Flowers of B. variegata were rich in phosphorus and mature fruits of C. dichotoma were good in phosphorus, potassium and copper content. The study concluded that both plants with two stages of maturity can be utilized as sources of minerals in combating mineral deficiencies
