The concentrations of calcium, iron, manganese, lead and zinc were determined in two different fruits (mango and cabbage) and three vegetables (uwgu/pumpkin, lettuce and spinach). The concentrations of these metals in the fruits and vegetables were also compared with the recommended/standard levels by the WHO. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (A.A.S) was used for the analysis of the metals. From the results, it was found that the concentration of Calcium was highest in mango, (64.97 mg/g); iron concentration was highest in Uwgu, (5.0mg/g). The results of the percentage moisture content of the various samples analyzed showed that lettuce had the highest moisture content (93.2 %) while mango had the least moisture content (84.8 %) in samples gotten from Sabo; and it was found that lettuce has the highest moisture content (94.0 %) while uwgu had the least moisture content of (80.9 %) in samples gotten from Samaru.
