The nutritive potentials of Parinari curatellifolia seeds have been analyzed with respect to its proximate, mineral, fatty acid and sensory quality. The results showed that the sample contains ash (2.68%), moisture (4.40%), crude protein (12.7%), crude fibre (5.45%), crude fat (1.77%) and carbohydrate 73.0%. Potassium was the most abundant mineral while the least abundant was copper. Myristic acid (9.75%) was the most concentrated fatty acid in the sample. The data obtained from the 10 - member panel based on 9-point hedonic scale for sensory quality showed that the sample could be perceived as dark-brown, bitter and fairly choking smell, hard but rough texture with loose attachment of testa to the seed.
