Ewedu leaves are also known as\u00a0Jute or Molokhia leaves.\u00a0\u00a0Ewedu is highly nutritious and has been proven to aid weight loss. Heard of Ewedu smoothie yet?<span id=\"more-1827\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ewedu soup is very easy to prepare and gone are the days when we worked our arms tirelessly to puree Ewedu soup with an Ewedu broom (Ijabe), now, we just take the easier route of blending with a hand blender or jug blender, this pur\u00e9es the leaves even better than using the popular broom.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div id=\"ga_11244858\"><\/div>\n<p><\/center>Now, I don\u2019t cook with Kaun (Potash), but rest assured. blending does enhance the viscosity, very much like Ijabe.
