Blanched Terere

Blanched Terere (Amaranth Leaves) is a nutrient-rich leafy green that has been briefly boiled or steamed to soften its texture while preserving its vibrant color and essential nutrients. It is an excellent source of iron, calcium, fiber, and vitamins A and C, making it a healthy addition to various dishes. Blanching helps reduce bitterness and enhances its natural flavor, making it easier to cook and digest. Blanched terere can be sautéed with onions and tomatoes, added to stews, or served as a side dish, often paired with traditional staples like ugali for a wholesome and nutritious meal.
