Worowo Leaves

Worowo leaves (Aspilia africana), known as “African evergreen,” are nutrient-rich, dark green leafy vegetables native to West Africa, commonly cultivated in Ekiti State, Nigeria, for their mild, earthy flavor. Packed with vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, and antioxidants, they boost immunity, support bone health, and aid digestion. Traditionally, they are boiled and added to soups or stews, enhancing local dishes like okra soup with depth and nourishment. Their high fiber content promotes gut health, while compounds like quercetin may help reduce inflammation. We recommend incorporating Worowo into daily meals for vitality and wellness, sourcing from local Ekiti markets to support sustainable farming. For medicinal use, consult healthcare professionals before consumption.
