Fluted Pumpkin Leaves (Ụ́gụ́)
Tender fluted pumpkin leaves, beloved in Igbo kitchens for rich soups and stews. Cut the morning you receive them, iron-rich and unmistakably fresh.
How to cook it
Simmer into egusi or ogbono soup with palm oil and ground melon seeds. Add the leaves in the last five minutes so they stay bright.
