Ewedu – The Super Vegetable: How could I have ever thought that I will enjoy Ewedu vegetable now? I had constantly condemned it as I never encouraged its consumption in my family. By the second day of my Mother’s in law visitation I knew I had no option than to cook it for her since she is a complete Oyo woman who cannot do without Amala and Ewedu. Shortly after I took the bold step to learn the process of making the soup from a Yoruba friend, I found it was completely simple to prepare. Joining my mother in law in taking a bite on the meal, I was completely surprised by how delicious it was when combined with Amala. These were the words of a 36 years old Delta woman married to an Egba man.
The jute leaf which is commonly called Ewedu among the Yoruba people have been part of the south westerner’s diet for so many decades. A few people who do not enjoy it describe it as a weed, while others cannot completely describe how delicious and medicinal this natural green is when regularly consumed. Ewedu is clearly rich in plenty micro nutrients that have been found to help many in reducing one’s chances of developing certain illnesses. The vegetable can be enjoyed in different forms. It can be eating with Gbegiri (a local soup made from beans) or with Melon soup. I bet whichever you choose; you will definitely enjoy the delicacy if combined with Amala (Yam Flour dough).
