HELLO HIVE
One of the most nutritive vegetables around my place is being cultivated at a very high amount this season jute leave or ewedu as it is commonly known in some parts of west Africa like Nigeria is a very good and nutritive vegetable plant that has a high level of nutrients like fat, vitamins (A, C and E) as well as phosphorus has different names in other parts of west Africa. The leaf 🍀 part of the plant is the most important part of the plant and the presence of antioxidants in this part of the plant gives it the ability to reduce free radicals in the body, these free radicals are a major cause of cancer in the human body system and that makes this plant a cancer preventive plant.
Most people who consume this plant in places like mine are not even aware of the nutritive benefits that they get from them, the value placed on it is so minimal compared to so many other vegetables. It also helps to aid digestion, strengthens bone and teeth as well as maintaining the skin, these vegetables is prepared alone and then mixed with stew.
I don't like taking it when it is prepared alone except if it is mixed with stew, most of its cultivation is done around the river and it is done mostly by aged women in place since it is not stressful to cultivate, farmers are currently cultivating this plant in large quantities along parts of the river.
