Leaves of twenty accessions of Tunisian caprifig (Ficus carica L.) accessions were investigated for their mineral and phenolic content. Results showed significant differences among accessions for all traits studied. Furthermore, leaves of caprifig are an important source of phenolic and mineral content. Potassium (379.05-1412.84 mg/100g) is the major mineral content, followed by calcium (499.20 mg/100g), magnesium (320.06 mg/100g), phosphorus (175.54 mg/100g), sodium (160.36 mg/100g), iron (39.08 mg/100g), manganese (2.54 mg/100g) and zinc (1.41 mg/100g). Total phenolic, flavonoid and flavonol contents ranged between 11.88-36.13 mg. g-1 GAE DW; 5.88-20 mg. g-1 QE DW; 3-11.08 mg. g-1 QE DW respectively. Cluster analysis and PCA grouped accessions studied in four groups.
