Nutritional and biochemical analysis of "T. bispinosa" in 100 grams of fruit demonstrates 22.35% and 72% carbohydrate, 4.5% protein, 11% moisture content, fibre. Chemical analysis showed that T.bispinosa is rich in citric acid that can be added to essential dietary supplements. Further analysis showed that it is also rich in Fe and Mn, K. This paper presents, medicinal, nutritious parameters, dietary, phytochemical,as well as pharmacological perspectives of Trapa bispinosa
