Abstract
The purpose of the study was to produce gruel from selected local food items and determine the proximate composition of the product. The study adopted an experimental design. The gruel was produced from nine local ingredients, which include maize (yellow), millet (brown), sorghum, soyabean, groundnut, tiger-nut, date palm, unripe plantain and crayfish. The proximate properties of the sample determined were moisture, ash, crude protein, fat, carbohydrate, crude fibre and energy (kcal). The result showed that the energy value was high and it was significantly different from the other values. The energy value 0.04 (p
