<p>Traditional crops have gained considerable importance in biomedical research due to emerging evidence suggesting their positive impact on human health. The two important Himalayan crops i.e., Finger millet (<i>Eleusine coracana</i> (L.) Gaertn.) and Dolichos beans (<i>Lablab purpureus</i> L. Sweet) are considered nutritious and wholesome due to their high fibre content. The primary objective of this research is to assess the antioxidant potential of different extracts (aqueous-methanol, hexane, and aqueous) obtained from <i>Eleusine coracana</i> (L.) Gaertn. and <i>Lablab purpureus</i> L. The in-vitro assays including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) radical scavenging assay, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) and % metal chelating methods were employed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of various extracts from <i>E. coracana</i> (L.) Gaertn. and <i>L. purpureus</i> L. Phytochemical analysis of both plants was conducted using UPLC-MS/MS. The in-vitro assays conducted on different plant extracts indicated that aqueous methanol extracts exhibited the highest antioxidant activity in terms of EC50 values of DPPH• radical scavenging activity 85.51 ± 1.87 and 291.42 ± 0.11 µg/mL; FRAP 2.01 ± 0.01 and 2.08 ± 0.10 mM FeSO₄/mg extract; metal chelation 52.83 ± 1.58 and 74.62 ± 0.01% respectively in S1 and S2 sample, possibly due to their higher total phenolic content (TPC). Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of compounds such as n-feruloyltyramine, tricetin, kaempferol (or luteolin)-o-glucoside/isomers, delphinidin-3-o-arabinoside, quercetin and fisetin in <i>Eleusine coracana</i> (L.) Gaertn., and diferulic acid, cyanidin-3-o-glucoside, 3-o-methylquercetin, delphinidin-3-o-arabinoside, quercetin and cinnamic acid glucoside in <i>Lablab purpureus</i> subsp. purpureus. Aqueous methanolic extract demonstrated the most potent antioxidant activity. Therefore, incorporating these crops into the diet may contribute to promoting a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.</p>
