Abstract
In three feeding experiments with rats, the nutritional value of tubers of Cyperus esculentus L. was determined. Contents of carbohydrate, fat and protein, and protein composition are reported. It was shown that the low quantity and quality of the protein and the high cellulose content, as well as the protein/fat imbalance, all contributed to a low nutritional value of a whole tuber diet.
