Total protein content in <em>U. linza </em>(22.05±1.73%) was found significantly (p&lt;0.05) higher than <em>C. racemosa </em>var. <em>uvifera </em>(18.20±1.50%) but with low crude lipids in the former; total amino acid content was also higher in the former, both having nearly the same amount of essential and non-essential amino acids; vitamin C content (about 2.5 mg/100 g) was nearly identical but β -carotene content was higher in the later (9.04 mg/100 g dry wt.). Crude fiber in <em>U. linza </em>was low (4.21±0.43%) but high in <em>C. racemosa </em>var. <em>uvifera </em>(18.20±1.50%). Other micronutrients were also ascertained. The nutritional quality parameters determined suggested that the “sea-salad” and <em>“</em>sea- grapes” can be used as sea-vegetables and food supplements.</p><p><em>Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.
