Abstract
Beans are a rich source of nutrients in human diet. However a number of edible bean varieties are largely underutilized in developing countries due to little or no information on their nutritional composition. The present study investigated the nutritional content of mung beans, African yam beans, soybeans, black eyed peas and pigeon peas from parts of South Western Nigeria. Samples were collected randomly in duplicates across the six South - western states of Nigeria. Common beans was included as a reference for comparison. Standard methods were used to determine the proximate composition of all bean samples. Mineral nutrients and phaseolin protein fractions Original Research Article
