FROZEN BITTERLEAF PACK

Description

This pack of frozen bitterleaf offers the ultimate convenience for preparing traditional African dishes, particularly popular in Nigerian cuisine. Bitterleaf (Vernonia amygdalina) is a highly cherished leafy vegetable known for its unique, slightly bitter taste, which, when properly processed, adds a distinctive depth of flavor to soups and stews. Our frozen bitterleaf takes away the laborious and time-consuming process of washing and squeezing out the bitterness, making it ready for immediate use in your kitchen.

Sourced from fresh, high-quality bitterleaf, this product undergoes a meticulous cleaning process where the natural bitterness is significantly reduced through repeated washing and squeezing, just as it would be prepared traditionally. Once the desired level of bitterness is achieved, the bitterleaf is then flash-frozen to preserve its vibrant green color, essential nutrients, and authentic flavor. This freezing method ensures that the leaves retain their texture and do not clump together, allowing you to easily portion out the exact amount you need.

Bitterleaf is not just a flavorful ingredient; it’s also packed with health benefits. It’s rich in vitamins (A, C, E, B1, B2), minerals (calcium, potassium, iron, phosphorus), and powerful antioxidants. It is traditionally valued for its medicinal properties, including aiding digestion, regulating blood sugar, and boosting immunity.
