Add to ORKGA 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 maturity stages (21, 28 and 35 days). Chemical analyses were done to determine levels of vitamin C, iron and zinc and anti-antinutional factors (oxalate, phytate and nitrate).Vitamin C increased significantly (p<0.05) with maturity in all vegetables except African nightshade Nduruma BG 16. Vitamin C content was highest (162.7 1.2 mg/100g) in Spider plant and lowest (29.0 1.5 mg/100g) in Afri...
