Description
Uziza Leaf (Piper guineense), also known as West African pepper leaf, is a highly aromatic and flavorful leafy spice native to West Africa. It is widely used in Nigerian, Cameroonian, and Ghanaian cuisines for its distinctive sharp, peppery taste and medicinal properties. The leaves can be used fresh or dried, adding a unique depth to soups, stews, sauces, and traditional dishes like Egusi, Oha, Nsala, and Pepper Soup.
Uziza leaves are rich in essential oils, antioxidants, and nutrients, making them not only a culinary delight but also a natural health booster. They aid digestion, relieve bloating, and have antimicrobial properties. When dried, the leaves retain much of their pungent aroma, making them a convenient pantry staple for year-round use.
