Introduction:
Vegetables are a vital component of human diet as they provide proteins, minerals and vitamins that ensure proper development of the human body and good health.<br /> <br /> Among the many vegetables, there is good reason to pay special attention to the green, leafy ones. They are probably the most concentrated source of nutrition of any food. They are a rich source of minerals (including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium) and vitamins, including vitamins A, C, E, K, and many of the B vitamins. They also provide a variety of anti-oxidants and other plant nutrients, which protect our cells from damage. These compounds are essential for scavenging for and binding harmful chemicals (so-called radicals) in the body that, if not destroyed, could cause diseases like cancer and diabetes.<br /> <br /> Dark green leaves even contain small amounts of Omega-3 fats, the fats that are essential for example for building up our brains.<br /> <br /> Africans have traditionally made use of edible leaves of species growing wild as weeds. Wild collection is still practiced in many parts of Southern Africa. These vegetables were well known to the rural people and were often planted in home gardens as intercrops with staples such as maize, millet and cassava.<br /> <br /> Much of this knowledge has disappeared with the introduction of vegetables such as rape, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, etc. There is every reason to also eat these introduced vegetables, but the local leaves often contain more beneficial nutrients, and actually often already grow as “weeds” in the fields.<br /> <br /> So, there is every reason to also promote the use of these wild plants besides the introduced leafy vegetables. Similarly, promote the use of the leaves from other crops, such as cassava, pumpkin, sweet potatoes – all leaves full of proteins, vitamins and minerals that should be commonly used for relish in many dishes, if that is not already the case in your area.
