Consequently, the consumption of antioxidant\u2010rich vegetables is essential for public health as a strategy to mitigate free radical\u2013induced damage. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition and antioxidant potential of lady finger (\n                    <jats:italic>Abelmoschus esculentus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) varieties sourced from four representative subcities of Addis Ababa (Arada, Lemi Kura, Bole, and Lafto), Ethiopia. The levels of ascorbic acid were determined by iodometric titration, while total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), and tannins were quantified using colorimetric methods. Antioxidant capacity was evaluated through three complementary assays: 2,2\u2010diphenyl\u20101\u2010picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2\u2032\u2010azino\u2010bis(3\u2010ethylbenzothiazoline\u20106\u2010sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Ascorbic acid concentrations ranged from 5.27 to 5.88\u2009mg\/100\u2009g. The Arada sample exhibited the highest TPC (130.21\u2009mg GAE\/100\u2009g) and TFC (243.92\u2009mg QE\/100\u2009g), while the Lafto sample had the highest tannin concentration (70.51\u2009mg\/100\u2009g). Radical scavenging potency was high across all samples, with IC\n                    <jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>\n                    values for DPPH ranging from 84.4 to 86.7\u2009\u03bcg\/mL and ABTS ranging from 63.9 to 92.5\u2009\u03bcg\/mL. The Bole sample demonstrated the highest overall antioxidant activity, with a FRAP value of 201.4\u2009mmol Fe\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    \/100\u2009g of extract. These findings highlight lady finger as a valuable food source. The high antioxidant capacity suggests that these varieties are rich in dietary antioxidants, potentially enhancing the overall nutritional quality of the diet.\n
