Añara. That is the Igbo name. It might have other names in other Ignoa dialects. But that is what it is called in most of Imo state communities. |

ccffwx: No. That’s tropical scent leaves (Ocimum gratissimum |clove/wild/African basil). All I know for spinach is that the Indian form is the one most affiliated with Igboland specifically and some people like using all or some of them (alongside curry leaves) in stews, although nchuanwu specifically is more associated with ofe akwu and sometimes plantain porridge than anything. Nchuanwu plant actually has anti-bacterial/food-preservative qualities (like salt) so it could probably keep stew fresh long-term but it’s the opposite for spinach and curry leaves, so you should only add them close to the time of eating the stew and only for people who like leaves in their stew. Some do, some don’t and some feel both ways depending on their mood and how much body they want to give to the stew itself that particular day. |
