Waterleaf: See The Benefits

                                               

Waterleaf is one of my favorite veggies. It is a perennial plant that can form dense colonies in shallow water or moist soils and can grow to 3 feet in height. It is one of the species of the herbaceous plants. They contain lots of water, and for some of you asking if you can drink the juice, Oh yes! You can actually squeeze the juice for drinking. Very healthy!

Waterleaves are generally good and beneficial to human health. The uses are versatile. In the southern part of Nigeria, waterleaf is used in making special soup known as Edikang Ikong and Afang. I combine it with bitter leaf to make my own version of native soup (Lol).
