Dried Bitter Leaves (Ewuro/Onugbu) - Nigerian Vegetable Soup - 50g
Bitter leaf, known as Ewuro in Yoruba or Onugbu in Igbo, is a leafy vegetable used to prepare Bitter Leaf soup, a popular Nigerian soup named for the leaf's naturally bitter flavor, which mellows with proper washing and cooking. Dried bitter leaves offer a shelf-stable alternative to fresh leaves, which require thorough washing to reduce bitterness before use. It's typically combined with other vegetables, meat, and fish to create a hearty, flavorful soup enjoyed with any swallow of choice.
How to use: Rehydrate and rinse thoroughly to reduce bitterness (or use directly according to preference), then add to simmering soup along with other soup ingredients.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
