Water leaves also feature in efo riro and other Nigerian vegetable soups.

How to prepare
- No need to thaw — add directly from frozen to your soup in the final stages of cooking.
- Water leaves wilt quickly and do not need long cooking times — add in the last 5 minutes to retain their texture and colour.
- Combine with ugu leaves in edikang ikong for the traditional Calabar result.
Storage
- Keep frozen at -18°C until ready to use. Once opened, use promptly and do not refreeze.
