Abstract
Four rattan species C. tenuis Roxb., C. thwaitesii Becc. & Hook.f., C. hookerianus Becc. and C. rivalis Thw. ex Trim., were studied to raise information on the nutrient value of the edible shoots. The rattan species contain a considerable amount of protein, when compared to other palm shoots. Among mineral nutrients, calcium, manganese and iron contents are higher which are important elements in human metabolic activities. Three months old shoots are best suited for consumption.
