Alkaloids and saponins were present in <i>C. olitorius</i> and <i>S. macrocarpon</i> but not in <i>A. cruentus</i>. Terpenoids, steroids, carotenoids and coumarins were absent in all the three vegetables. Proximate analysis revealed varying levels of moisture, fat, protein, ash, crude fibre and carbohydrates in the three leafy vegetables. The DPPH scavenging showed 86.71%, 71.72% and 38.86% activity for <i>S. macrocarpon</i>, <i>C. olitorius</i> and <i>A. cruentus</i> respectively. The antinutrient results revealed an oxalate level of 2.7 ± 0.13% for <i>C. olitorius</i>, 6.43 ± 0.06% for <i>A. cruentus</i> and 12.32 ± 0.13% for <i>S. macrocarpon</i>.
