FRESH TRANSPLANTED BITTERLEAF PLANTS// A HOUSEHOLD PLANT AND A MEDICINAL PLANT🌿

Still on my agricultural mindset agenda, the picture above is a transplanted plant of what we call in Nigeria, BITTERLEAF. You heard me right, it might look all healthy and fresh but trust me even when you touch it with the tip of your finger it is bitter, everything about it is leave from leave to stem.

One time, I forgot I touched the leaves, even though I washed my hands before eating my snack, it was still very bitter so you can imagine.

Well, I saw the plant lying fallow in a path, then I transplanted it to somewhere safe because it is a household plant for most people in Nigeria. You can use it to cook various soup, one popular one is called BITTERLEAF soup for the Igbo's and one can add it to other soups or food to spice it. I don't like the bitter taste in food so no thank you.

Another beneficial aspect of the BITTERLEAF plant is that it is medicinal, all you have do is plucked them, wash and blend then sieve out the juice and drink. It cleanses the system of harmful toxins in the body, thus it is a natural medicine.

Well, after taking this picture I had to pick out the weeds surrounding it, so as not to struggle with the necessary nutrients required for the plant to grow well.
