Bitterleaf soup, known as Ofe Onugbu in the Igbo language, is a traditional dish from Nigeria. It is made primarily from the leaves of the Vernonia amygdalina plant, which are known for their distinct bitter flavor. The soup typically includes ingredients such as meat, fish, and various spices, creating a rich and hearty meal often served with fufu or rice. The preparation of bitterleaf soup involves washing the leaves multiple times to reduce their bitterness. This dish is not only popular for its unique taste but also for its nutritional benefits, as bitterleaf is rich in vitamins and minerals. It is commonly enjoyed at family gatherings and special occasions.
