In the present study, the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents of Alternanthera sessilis, Moringa oleifera, Sesbania grandiflora, Piper betle, Trigonella foenum-graecum and Spinacia oleracea were estimated. It is found that Sesbania grandiflora has the highest chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b and total chlorophyll contents among the six green leafy vegetables followed by Piper betle. Among the six green leafy vegetables, the highest contents of carotenoid (38.765mg/100g f.w) were recorded in the leaves of Moringa oleifera.
