Blanched Nderema

Blanched Nderema (African Spinach or Climbing Black Nightshade) is a highly nutritious leafy green that has been briefly boiled or steamed to soften its texture while preserving its vibrant color and essential nutrients. Known for its slightly slimy consistency when cooked, it is rich in iron, calcium, fiber, and vitamins A and C. Blanching helps reduce bitterness and makes it easier to prepare in various dishes.
