In addition to the toxic minerals (Be, Ba, Cd, Cr, Al, Pb, As, Sb, Sn, and Sr), this study measured the availability of the macronutrients (Na, K, Mg, Ca, and p) in various traditional Sudanese cuisines. A total of fifteen distinct food species' samples were gathered from Khartoum State's local marketplaces. Roselle, Tamarindo, Baobab, Doum, Grewia tenax, Cowpeas, Gondaila Dates, Lupine, Cajanuscajan, Millet, Wheat, and three distinct varieties of Sorghum were among the samples (fetarita, abahmed and tabat). The concentrations of the minerals were measured using inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP). The concentrations, which ranged from extremely low to noticeably high, were discovered to be different in the tested species. Between Gondaila date (0.1441 ppm) and Roselle (220 ppm), sodium concentrations were found. Sorghum (fetarita) had a potassium range of 4,295 ppm while Doum had a range of 27,648 ppm. From 13.51ppm in Cowpeas to 3,245ppm in Roselle, the magnesium concentration varied. The calcium content of lupines ranged from 1,966.24ppm to (0.1999ppm) in sorghum (Abahmed). Baobab had the lowest phosphorus level (638.5 ppm), while Cajanusc ajan had the highest (3,639ppm). All of the samples that were tested included trace levels of the minerals (Be, Cd, Cr, As, Pb, Sr, and Sn). Rossele had a comparatively high concentration of barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) (30.34 and 74.35ppm respectively).
