The proximate composition of the garnished and complemented Ikokore were compared to the unqrnished and uncomplemented Ikokore with normal yam. The result show that the garnished and complemented ikokore which is sample 215 contain ,moisture content of 72.42, 4.45/Ash, 6.40.1, fat, 12.42% protein, 1.90% fiber and 214% carbohydrate.
