Seeds of seven faba bean genotypes, namely 00616,00648, 00594, BB7, BF2/2/8/1 and H72, grown at four locations (Wad Medani, Shendi, El Rahad and Shambat), were used in this study. The results showed that the seeds contained 4.3%-8.1%, moisture, 1.9%-5.3% ash, 0.7%-1.4% fat, 6.8%-12.4% crude fibre and 28.0%-37.8% protein. The proximate composition of the seed coat was 3.2%-8.9% moisture, 2.0%-4.8% ash, 44.2%-52.3% crude fibre and 5.2%-9.7% protein. The seed coat percentage varied from 9.2% to 16.3%. The correlation between proximate composition, seed coat thickness and seed coat percentage revealed that the protein content was significantly and negatively (r=-0.636) correlated with ash and crude fibre content (4=-0.646), but it correlates significantly and negatively (4=-0.687) with seed coat percentage
