Legumes are an important component of the common mans' diet in Pakistan and various species of legumes are grown throughout Pakistan. Little work exists on determination of metal contents and antioxidant activity of pods and leaves of food legumes. Current research is designed to quantify metal contents of leaves and pods of selected legumes and to establish antioxidant profiles of crude methanolic extracts of leaves and pods of said species. Presence of higher amounts of all necessary mineral contents indicates that said legumes may find their place in livestock feed as well as human diet. On the basis of employed analytical methods, the tested legume extracts may be considered easily accessible natural sources of antioxidants and valuable additions to forage for grazing animals due to mineral contents present in their leaves and pods.

Macro- and microelement contents of legume seeds were determined by ICP-AES. The potassium K contents of seeds ranged between 7,426 mg/kg (Lupinus albus L.) and 16,558 mg/kg (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ssp. sphaericus Mart). In addition, while P contents of seeds changed from 2,719 mg/kg (L. albus L.) to 5,792 mg/kg (Vigna sinensis (L.) Savi), Ca contents ranged at the levels between 1,309 mg/kg (Cicer arietinum L.) and 2,781 mg/kg (L. albus L.). The microelement contents of samples were found to be different depending on several species. The iron levels of samples were determined at the levels between 90.51 mg/kg (Phaseolus mungo L.) and 152.80 mg/kg (P. vulgaris L. ssp. sphaericus Mart). In addition, Zn contents of seeds were found between 31.32 mg/kg (C. arietinum L.) and 44.75 mg/kg (V. sinensis (L.) Savi).
