Water Leaf is a soft, succulent leafy vegetable with a mildly tangy, slightly sour flavor. Native to West Africa and tropical South America, its most notable characteristic is its high moisture content. It adds both hydration and fiber to the diet, making it a valuable and healthy staple ingredient.
Rich in iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Helps improve blood circulation, supports heart and skin health, and provides antioxidants for detoxification.
Refrigerate unwashed leaves in a perforated plastic bag or wrapped in a damp towel. Best used within 2–3 days or blanched and frozen for longer storage.
