Summary Nutrient and toxin analyses were carried out on wild foods that are eaten by the baboon (Papio cynocephalus (L.)) and black‐faced vervet (Cercopithecus aethiops (L.)) and other animals in Amboseli National Park, Kenya. Data are provided on proximate composition (water, ash, fat, protein, fibre, other carbohydrates), fourteen minerals, four vitamins (folic acid, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, β‐carotine) and a toxin (trypsin inhibitor).
