Amtaishpat pumpkin leaves (ugu) 454g

Pumpkin leaves, commonly known in West Africa as Ugu (derived from the fluted pumpkin plant, Telfairia occidentalis), are dark green, tender, leafy vegetables widely used in traditional cooking. They have a mild, slightly earthy and nutty taste with a soft yet fibrous texture when cooked, making them perfect for soups, stews, and stir-fries. Beyond their culinary value, pumpkin leaves are highly nutritious—rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, potassium, and antioxidants that support healthy vision, strong bones, blood formation, and overall immunity. In many cultures, they are not only a staple vegetable but also valued for their medicinal and strengthening properties.
