Hello beautiful people all over the world,it is with great pleasure I bring to you TALINUM FRUTICOSUM.
This name sounds very strange to alot of ears because it's simply the botanical name for WATERLEAF.
I believe a picture image should refresh your memory.
Suffice to say that this leaf is rich in vitamins and mineral supplement that keeps the body strong, active,free from eye problems,such as cataracts,its packed with Retinol, which is a very good source of vitamin A.
TALINUM FRUTICOSUM is a vegetable good for weight loss,it helps you loss weight when you process it for drinking or turn it to WATERLEAF juice.
Remember,this leaf contains lots of water,thereby making it very succulent in nature,a picture of how it's planted will not only show you how it looks like when planted,but will also show you how beautiful it looks when ready to harvest.
Bare in mind that this said plant grows rapidly and it is commonly found in the southern states in Nigeria.
The people from Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom states respectively do not joke with this vegetable,you can find it almost in every home because they use it to prepare delicious delicacy called Afang soup.
Note, while you're enjoying this delicious delicacy,it improves your Blood pressure,gives you strong bones and teeth.
Alot of you might be asking, what about the pregnant women,yes about that,it's very essential for every pregnant woman to add it into their menu list.
But also Note that it has an acid that's not friendly with kidney problems.
Again,too much ingesting of waterleaf can cause excessive stooling (purging).
So what am I trying to say, everything has to be in moderation to get every nutritional value of this magic leaf,I call it MAGICAL WATERLEAF, because it is usually underrated by other tribes outside of the southern states of Nigeria.
This waterleaf prevents Cancer and manages Blood sugar in the human body.
Below, you'll see how it's stem is planted into the soil and another part when it's grown and ready to be harvested.
This Pictures were taken in my farm were I plant and harvest them for home use,it's devoid of fertilizer..This was naturally planted and nurtured to what you're seeing at the moment.
It's leaves are a good source of fiber and minerals and they contribute to collect the micronutrients for daily nutritional requirements.
Alot of times,after we pluck the leaves,we wash it properly with sait and alot of water to wash away bacteria,then we squeeze the leaves by rubbing it with both hands,it's foamy and a bit slimy,after much squeezing,you filter the chlorophyll into a glass cup and drink,this helps to detoxify the body, helps the individual loss weight,manage blood sugar, prevents cancer,it helps protect your teeth and improves calcium production in the body,now you see why I will always recommend waterleaf in your menu in every home.
Just as the doctor would say,AN APPLE A DAY,KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY,same can be said of waterleaf,it keeps you strong, healthy,did I mention that it's also good on your skin,yes it promotes collagen on the skin.
