DRIED BITTER LEAVES
Dried Bitter Leaves are a popular staple in many Nigerian households. Known locally as Onugbu or Ewuro, they add bold, earthy flavor to soups like Ofe Onugbu, ogbono, egusi, and pepper soup. When prepared properly, they deliver both taste and health benefits.
We carefully harvest the leaves while fresh and vibrant. Our team thoroughly washes them to remove bitterness and impurities. After rinsing, we spread them out under hygienic shade drying conditions to preserve their color, texture, and nutrients. This natural drying method retains flavor while extending shelf life without using any chemicals.
These washed bitterleaf packs come ready for use. Simply soak in warm water for 3–5 minutes to soften, rinse again, and add to your favorite recipe. For a more traditional touch, you can also squeeze or rub the leaves to control the level of bitterness you prefer.
Rich in antioxidants, iron, fiber, and essential vitamins, bitter leaves support digestion, detoxification, and blood sugar regulation. Many cultures also use them for postpartum care and herbal remedies, thanks to their immune-boosting properties.
Whether you’re cooking for family or preparing meals for sale, these leaves provide authentic taste and nutritional value. They blend well with stockfish, crayfish, palm oil, pepper, and other native ingredients. Their distinct bitterness balances the richness of thick soups and elevates your dish to the next level.
You can store them in an airtight container for months without losing freshness. That makes them perfect for both daily use and long-term stocking.
