Abstract: 
This study was undertaken to assess the nutritive value and mineral contents from Vitex negundo and Adhatoda vasica. These two plant species are fairly used as medicine throughout the greater part of India. Adhatoda vasica is used to control pain, inflammation and other related diseases. Leaves of Adhatoda vasica are used for treatment of cold, cough, chronic bronchitis and asthma. It was also used by traditional midwives at the time of delivery. The leaves of Adhatoda vasica are extensively used in indigenous medicines remedies. Both the plants contained important macro and micro elements: K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn and Cr. These elements were found in more quantity in Vitex negundo than in Adhatoda vasica. The leaves of both the plants were analyzed for ash content, moisture, crude fat, crude fibre, crude carbohydrate and crude protein content. The results for percentage of ash content, moisture content, crude fat, crude fiber, carbohydrate and protein were 5.4 ± 0.35, 16.50 ± 1.2, 7 ± 0.7, 28.02 +1.03, 8.5 ± 0.45, 13.7 ± 1.04 % respectively for Vitex negundo; and 5.2 ± 1.23, 15.3 ± 0.5, 1.6 ± 0.3, 6.4 ± 0.45, 16.4 ± 0.8, 6.5 ± 0.3 respectively for Adhatoda vasica. The leaves were also assessed for nutritional value. Nutritional value of Vitex negundo was 151.80 Cal/100g and that of Adhatoda vasica was 106.00 Cal/100.g.



Key words:
