The nutritional and anti nutritional characterization of two tubers namely Manihot esculenta and Plecutranthus rotundifolius were analyzed. A comparative analysis of nutrients of cassava and Chinese potato were carried out using standard analytical techniques. Results obtained showed high amount of protein, vitamins and low amount of phosphorus were found in leaves of chinese potato.
