The minerals content of three spices <i>Eugenia caryophyllata, Xylopia aethiopica</i> and <i>Aframomum melegueta</i> from open markets in Accra were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) procedures. Accuracy and precision of the method was evaluated by the certified reference material, NIST SRM 1573a Tomato Leaves. There were differences in essential metal concentrations in the three local spices under the study. The levels of essential trace elements in the three local spices were; Cu 0.006–0.012 mg/kg, Zn: 0.011–0.032mg/kg for, Mn: 0.087–0.368 mg/kg, Iron: 0.06–0.116 mg/kg, Mg: 0.032–3.317 mg/kg, Ca: 0.271–5.746 mg/kg, and Na: 0.019–3.889 mg/ kg for sodium. Significant differences were found in the levels of essential trace elements in <i>Eugenia caryophyllata, Xylopia aethiopica</i> and <i>Aframomum melegueta</i>.
