Description
Waterleaf is a highly nutritious leafy green vegetable native to Africa, commonly used in traditional West African cuisines. Known for its rich content of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, waterleaf is a popular ingredient in soups, stews, and sauces. It has a soft, tender texture that becomes slightly slimy when cooked, similar to that of okra, which helps thicken dishes. Often added to dishes like Ewedu, Edikang Ikong, and other local stews, waterleaf provides a refreshing, earthy flavor while enhancing the nutritional value of the meal. Available fresh or frozen, waterleaf is a versatile and healthy addition to various recipes.
