Abstract: Apart from industrial uses of Sterculia spp., the seeds are used for human food. Hence, the nutritional composition of seeds of Sterculia foetida and S. urens from 4 localities was studied. The results showed that carbohydrates ranged from 18-48%, crude protein from 9.63-30.81%, ascorbic acid from 2.3-5.2 mg/100g and fat from 24-32.5%. Appreciable amounts of minerals were also present. Tannin content was found to be appreciably low.
