Nigeria Ewedu - per tie

Ewedu (Corchorus olitorius), also known as Jute leaves, is the legendary green behind the silky, mucilaginous soup that is a cornerstone of Yoruba cuisine. Sold by the "Tie" (a fresh market bundle), our Ewedu is harvested young to ensure the leaves are tender, easy to blend, and capable of producing that iconic "stretch" that makes it the perfect companion for Amala.
