Once harvested, the leaves are washed and dried—either under the sun or using low heat—to preserve their nutrients and extend shelf life.
Often used in dishes like Ofe Onugbu and Ndolé, the bitterness can be mellowed by soaking or rinsing before cooking. This leaf is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vital nutrients such as iron, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and E, making it a popular ingredient for promoting digestive health, blood sugar balance, and immune support.
