Africana salad; Utazi, utazizi or otherwise known by the biological name Gongronema latifolium is a specie belonging to the bitter leaf family is mostly used for used for pregnant, lactating mothers and for sick people,in making pepper soup, i tell you it has this beautiful flavour that gives a touch of home cooking to your soups and also used to garnished your sauce, it is one must have spice for preparing pepper soup, banga or palm kernel soup, mixed okro soup.
I always wonder why i like it so much, it bring back for me fond memories of my mother care and love particularly when i took ill and it seems i was going to fade away from my inability to eat no matter how delicious the food prepared seems, it just all taste like sawdust in my mouth. Mum prepared a simple pepper soup using this leaf with just crayfish and gave me to drink it on empty stomach, it was like a miracle because i was eating ravenously from then on.
Based on the research i carried out, i discover that aside from the medicinal value, it actually has many other nutritional benefits,it has an excellent source of protein and contain a high dose of amnion acid as well,when infused its also helpful in treating malaria.
