Comparative proximate composition of selected edible vegetables (Hibiscus esculentus, Telfairia occidentalis, vernonia amygdalina and Talinum triangulare ) harvested in farmland nearby oil impacted sites in Rivers State (Bomu, Eleme, Umusoya, Rukpokwu and Omagwa) were investigated. The results obtained were compared to the proximate composition of similar edible vegetables harvested from non oil producing areas in Imo State. The was a significantly higher moisture levels in Hibiscus esculentus, Talinum triangulare and Telfairia occidentalis harvested from all the study areas (Highest value in Hibiscus esculentus harvested from Eleme: 6.26 ± 0.03 and lowest value in Telfairia occidentalis harvested from Bomu: 4.04 ± 0.02). All the vegetables harvested from the study areas were significantly lower in ash when compared to vegetables from the control areas (Highest value in Hibiscus esculentus harvested from Rukpokwu: 13.51 ± 0.04 and lowest value in Telfairia occidentalis harvested from Rukpokwu: 9.11 ± 0.01).The crude protein content of vegetables indicated significantly lower value for all the vegetables harvested from the study areas (Highest value in Telfairia occidentalis harvested from Omagwa: 16.51 ± 0.01and lowest value in Talinum triangulare harvested from Umusoya, Bomu and Eleme: 8.12 ± 0.02). All vegetables harvested from the study areas were significantly higher in crude fat when compared to vegetables from the control areas (Highest value in Talinum triangulare harvested from Rukpokwu and Omagwa: 4.12 ± 0.01and lowest value in Hibiscus esculentus harvested from Bomu: 2.06 ± 0.02), total carbohydrate and calorific value while the result for fibre was of significant higher value for all vegetable samples harvested from the studied areas. Values obtained indicated vegetables with lower quality in the study areas.
