Across much of Africa the plant is grown more for its leaves than its fruit; young leaves are de-fuzzed and stewed. Per 100 grams they carry protein close to spinach.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
