Abstract: Fleshy fruit and seeds of African bush pear were subjected to proximate and mineral analysis using the standard methods of AOAC .Themineral was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Photospectrometer (AAS). Result shows that the seedswas significantly higher in protein (4.03%) and carbohydrate (74.71%) compare to fruit sample of protein (1.75%) and Carbohydrate (27.37%). In addition, the fruit sample was significantly (P
