A research on proximate, minerals and anti- nutritive composition of African walnut collected from Nigeria and Cameroon was carried out at the Laboratory of Department of Biochemistry and Technology, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria. Experimental design was completely randomized design with five replications. Proximate properties of the two lines did not show any significant difference (P< 0.05) except for carbohydrate. However, the line from Nigeria had higher values in protein (28.32%), crude fat (5.67%), ash (4.33%), and moisture (38,44%) content, while higher values for carbohydrate (20.87%) and crude fibre (9.32%) was obtained for the line from Cameroon. The mineral composition of the two lines showed significant difference (P> 0.05) in some mineral elements like manganese, sodium and chromium. Anti-nutritional composition of the two lines did not show any significant difference like the result on proximate analysis. However, higher values of phytate (6.27%), and
