Uziza leaves, also known as Piper guineense, are a highly fragrant and peppery vegetable widely used in Nigerian and West African dishes. These leaves are known for their distinctive spicy taste and are often used to add heat and depth to soups, stews, and sauces. Commonly found in dishes like Ofe Uziza (Uziza soup), the leaves are appreciated not only for their flavor but also for their medicinal properties. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential oils, Uziza leaves are believed to support digestion, improve circulation, and boost overall health. Whether used fresh, dried, or ground, Uziza adds both a zesty flavor and nutritional benefits to your meals.
