  The study explored the potentials of substituting breadfruit into cassava to obtain gari analogue of which proximate and mineral compositions were evaluated. A portion of matured but unripe breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) and mature cassava tubers were co-fermented (100:0, 0:100, 80:20, 70:30, and 60: 40 Cassava to Breadfruit) to obtain gari analogue. The samples were evaluated for proximate and mineral analyses. Data obtained were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that Co-fermentation of cassava and breadfruit produced gari and gari analogue with slightly enhanced protein content. The protein content of the samples ranged from 3.42%-5.68% with 100% cassava gari having the lowest protein content (3.42%) and 100% Breadfruit gari having highest protein content (5.68%).
