Bitter leaf, also known as vernonia amygdalina, is a nutrient-dense leafy green staple in West African cuisine. This fresh variety delivers a distinctly peppery, slightly bitter flavor that enhances soups, stews, and traditional dishes. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, bitter leaf supports digestive health and overall wellness. Select tender leaves for milder taste or mature leaves for more pronounced flavor. Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate to maintain freshness. A versatile ingredient that brings authentic African culinary tradition to your kitchen.
