Protein (18 to 30%) and carbohydrates (50 to 60%) are the major constituents of the mature seeds of 33 samples comprising seven legume species. Vigna umbellata had the lowest protein content of 17.42 to 17.56% while Canavalia ensiformis, Canavalia gladiata, Mucuna pruriens or M. cochiochinensis and Clitoria ternatea had similar protein contents of 28 to 30%. Fat content ranged for 1.2 to 3.7%. Dalichos lablab, Phaseolus lunatus and Canavalia gladiata had the largest (5.6%) difference in protein and carbohydrate contents. The proximate composition of the immature and mature leaves and pods were also obtained: moisture (70-90%), carbohydrates (15-18%), proteins (3-10%), fibers (2%), fat (2-4%), ash (0.5-4%)
