Ugu (fluted pumpkin leaves) is one of the most popular vegetables in Nigerian cooking. Known scientifically as Telfairia occidentalis, these dark green leaves are packed with iron, vitamins, and antioxidants. In traditional medicine, ugu is believed to boost blood production and is often recommended for pregnant women and those recovering from illness. The leaves have a mild, slightly sweet flavor that complements the bold spices of Nigerian cuisine beautifully.
Dried fluted pumpkin leaves (Telfairia occidentalis). 100% natural, no additives.
For Egusi Soup: Shred ugu leaves finely and stir into the soup in the last 5 minutes. Do not overcook — the leaves should wilt but stay vibrant green.
For Edikaikong Soup: Combine with waterleaf (if available) for this classic Cross River soup.
For Vegetable Soup: Use as the primary green in any Nigerian vegetable soup.
For Smoothies: Blend dried leaves with banana, mango, and yogurt for a nutrient-packed smoothie.
Rehydrating: Soak dried leaves in warm water for 10 minutes before use. Squeeze out excess water.
