Abstract: The pulp of calabash fruit (Crescentia cujete) has been studied for its nutritive and anti-nutritive compositions in both the wet and dry samples. The values of the ash; 3.74% (dry), ether extract; 4.38% (wet) crude protein; 7.67% (wet) and 10.01% (dry), crude fibre; 4.88% (dry), carbohydrate; 15.65% (wet) and 68.13% (dry) and dry matter; 31.32% (wet) and 87.48% (dry) are quite reasonable for fruits. Both the wet and dry samples have very high concentrations of the mineral elements. Sodium (Na) has the highest values of 3.20% (wet) and 0.32% (dry), while calcium has the least values of 0.12% (wet) and 0.06% (dry). The pulp has very high values of Thiamin; 1.50 �g g ¹ (wet) and 0.93 �g g ¹ (dry). Both the wet and dry pulp samples have reasonable values of phytochemicals and are free from HCN toxicity. The pulp can make useful contributions to human nutrition and health.
