Proximate & Phytochemicals Content helps to reveal the nutritional composition and quality of a substance aimed at helping consumer make healthier dietary choice and African locust bean is one of those highly nutritional and medicinal legume that has been extensively studied which has been reviewed in this work so as to further reveal its importance globally.
Methods The review was guided by preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis guidelines using four data bases Pub Med, Web of Science, Google Scholars and Scopus. 
Result: A proximate content range of 3.19-7.96% crude protein, 1.98-3.55% crude fat, 3.82-7.69% crude fibre, 1.06-3.55% Ash, 4.55-8.02% moisture and 56.22-75.65% carbohydrate was gotten while phytochemicals content range of 3.25-6.22mg/g tannins, 3.23-5.67mg/g flavonoids, 12.21-18.37mg/g steroids, 8.04-11.98mg/g terpenoids, 29.98-56.34mg/g alkaloids and 4.69-8.22mg/g cardiac glucosides which account for the several nutritional and medicinal effect accrued to african locust bean.},
