Tasty Foods Waterleaf 500g - Fresh Frozen UK - Pure & Fresh

Description

Tasty Foods Waterleaf 500g is frozen Nigerian waterleaf — a high-moisture, mildly mucilaginous leafy green and a key ingredient in edikang ikong soup, where it's combined with ugu leaves, assorted meat, dried fish, crayfish and palm oil. Frozen at peak freshness, it gives convenient, year-round access to a leaf that wilts quickly when fresh.

How to prepare

• No need to thaw — add directly from frozen to your soup in the final stages of cooking.
• Waterleaf wilts quickly and needs only brief cooking — add in the last few minutes to keep its texture.
• Combine with ugu leaves in edikang ikong for the traditional result.

Storage

• Keep frozen at -18°C until ready to use. Once opened, use promptly and do not refreeze.

Frequently asked

Can I substitute waterleaf in edikang ikong?

Waterleaf is traditional to edikang ikong; spinach can stand in but gives a different texture and a less authentic result.

How is this different from the smaller Pika pack?

Same leaf, different brand and pack size — choose based on the quantity you need.
