The pulp of Dialium guineense (Velvet tamarind) was analyzed and the proximate analysis and mineral composition evaluated. The pulp contained 30% moisture content, 7.09% crude protein, 0.75% crude lipid and below detection limit for crude fiber, 2% ash content, 57.04% available carbohydrate and energy value 263.27(KJ/100g). Mineral composition and Vitamin C content for the samples were investigated. Results compare well with those of other edible fruits. The accumulation of heavy metals and level of ascorbic acid seems to increase with age, while the fibre depreciates as the fruit Velvet tamarind has a very low oil yield. This shows that nutritional shown that the fruit and less likely to cause these metals poisoning
