FROZEN UGU PACK

Description

This pack of frozen Ugu, also known as Fluted Pumpkin Leaves (Telfairia occidentalis), offers unparalleled convenience for preparing beloved West African, particularly Nigerian, dishes. Ugu is a highly prized leafy green vegetable, celebrated for its unique earthy flavor, tender texture, and immense nutritional value. Our frozen Ugu takes away the time-consuming process of washing, slicing, and preparing fresh leaves, making it ready for immediate use in your kitchen.

Sourced from fresh, high-quality Ugu leaves, this product undergoes a meticulous cleaning and shredding process. Once prepared, the Ugu leaves are then flash-frozen to preserve their 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 without waste.

Ugu is not just a culinary staple; it’s also a powerhouse of nutrition. It’s exceptionally rich in iron, making it highly beneficial for blood production and preventing anemia. It’s also an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, essential vitamins (A, C, K, B vitamins), and minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus). Its medicinal properties are widely recognized in traditional African medicine, often used for blood enrichment and overall vitality.
