So I Washed Bitter Leaf With A Washing Machine; The Result Was Bewildering! by Nobody: 7:30am On Oct 03, 2015
Everyone loves Bitter Leaf wink, albeit the well washed ones, but then the process of actually making it eatable is arduous and most would run away from it. I decided to find out easier ways to wash it and I came across some talk about using a washing machine online.

So I got plenty of leaves and had it poured in the machine and did all the settings and I did three rounds of washing!

The following were my findings;
1. The water turned green (duh...)
2. The leaves were shredded into tiny pieces resembling actual mincing with knife
3. The leaf stalk was preserved (terribly annoying)
4. The leaf integrity was preserved, it still felt fresh to the touch (as if nothing had happened)
5. IT WAS STILL BITTER!
6. The machine was clogged with leaves everywhere

My experiment led to about two hours of work trying to get the remnants of the leaves out of the machine (my mom would surely have killed me!!!)

My advice
The good old way is still the best....Wash with your hand

Huh. That was such a crazy thing to do.

But, I'm relieved it didn't come out nice. I wouldn't like to think that it's possible my next meal of bitterleaf could have been prepared in a washing machine.

Op, change that "my advice" to "recommendation/conclusion". That way, it gets to look like an actual thesis report.

nos 1 to 5 are expected and on point, no 6 was because the leaves were not put in an applicable bag before the washing, imo.



in addition, never heard of putting bitter leaf in a washing machine.

If I had done two more rounds, the result probably would have turned out great. I had to rush everything.

Your next meal of bitterleaf might just be a washing-machine-based-technology
