bitter leaf is very tasty. Especially if a tiny bit of bitterness is left in. |

I like bitterleaf.i use it for egusi and okro soups.Nothing beats the after taste especially after a glass of cold water. |

~I use to think b/c of the name,the sauce will actually be bitter too but my Nana Cooked it w/ Fufu for me & i was pleasantly surprised how nice it tasted . . I'll only eat it if my Nana cooks it tho! ~Back Home Bitterleaves is considered "Fufu Soup" & cooked on its own,Is cooking it w/ Egusi/Okra normal for naija Folks? |

I love bitter leaf, sadly my husband is averse to it. I heard that some people remove the bitterness by parboiling the leaf. Is this possible? I only know about washing it thoroughly to remove the bitter taste. To y'all that don't like bitter leaf, you are missing. Try bitter leaf sauce with boiled yam it's like going to heaven . |

My dad always asked for it to be blended into a drink. He then drinks it and asks us[children] to drink it, saying it was for good health. Its real bitter but not that bad. |
Re: I Love Bitter Leaf(ewuro) by dominique(f): 2:02pm On May 16, 2009 |
BenHundred: my dad used to make us drink it too, it was real nasty |
Re: I Love Bitter Leaf(ewuro) by dani1luv: 2:34pm On May 16, 2009 |
esp. when using it to cook. egusi stew. . |
Re: I Love Bitter Leaf(ewuro) by Ejadamen(f): 4:05pm On May 16, 2009 |
No one answered my question, can bitter leaf be parboiled to remove the bitter taste? |
Re: I Love Bitter Leaf(ewuro) by BenHundred(m): 5:53pm On May 16, 2009 |
Whatever. |
Re: I Love Bitter Leaf(ewuro) by dominique(f): 7:15pm On May 17, 2009 |
benhundred, you don't have to be nasty, the guy was just asking a question. @ejadamen, yeah you can parbiol the leaves to remove the bitterness, i normally squeeze it out. |
Re: I Love Bitter Leaf(ewuro) by Ejadamen(f): 8:53pm On May 17, 2009 |
