Pre Order Box of Ugwu (Fluted Pumpkin Leaves) - Fluted Pumpkin

Description

Pre Order Box of Ugwu (Fluted Pumpkin Leaves) is a bulk box of fresh ugwu, the dark green leaf used in egusi soup, edikang ikong and efo riro. Ordering by the box suits larger households, caterers or anyone cooking in batches, rather than the smaller bunches.

How to prepare

• Rinse thoroughly, then slice thinly before adding to soup — ugwu is typically shredded rather than left whole.

Perfect for

• Egusi soup
• Edikang ikong
• Efo riro
• Vegetable stews

Storage

• Refrigerate in the crisper drawer and use within 2-3 days for best freshness; shredded leaves freeze well for longer keeping.

Frequently asked

Why order a box instead of a smaller bunch?

A box suits caterers, larger families or anyone who cooks ugwu-based soups regularly and wants better value per leaf.

Why is it pre-order?

Ugwu is a fast-wilting leaf, so box-sized orders are sourced closer to delivery to keep it as fresh as possible.
