Bitter Leaf

Bitter Leaf, known locally as “Ewuro” in Yoruba, “Onugbu” in Igbo, and “Shuwaka” in Hausa, is the leaf of the Vernonia amygdalina plant. It is a powerful medicinal and culinary herb used across Africa and increasingly demanded in international markets for its detoxifying and blood-purifying properties. Despite its bitter taste, once properly washed or processed, it becomes a flavorful and essential ingredient in several African soups and teas.
