Ewedu

Ewedu is a green leafy vegetable that is rich in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. It is used to make Ewedu soup which is a traditional Nigerian recipe mostly eaten by the Yoruba people of Nigeria, but is now a favourite of most other ethnic groups. This green, leafy vegetable is rich in beta-carotene for good eyesight, iron for healthy red blood cells, calcium for strong bones and teeth, and vitamin C for smooth, clear skin, strong immune cells, and fast wound-healing. The Vitamins A, C and E present in Ewedu “sponge-up” free radicals, scooping them up before they can commit cellular sabotage. Trying to lose some weight? Try Ewedu. The fatty acids, omega 3, Vitamins B, magnesium and zinc present in Ewedu have a role to play in losing weight and some serve to reduce appetite. The Omega 3 in Ewedu helps improve the functions of the brain. It helps nerve impulse, and treats nerve tingling. So, eating it is strongly recommended for growing children to improve their brain power.
