It's in Africa and probably everywhere under a different name. Has more nutrients than most vegetables. I'm surprised it's not sold in the stores as it's easier to cook than collards and is much tender with a better flavor. We usually chop it up in very small pieces and saute it with onion and curiouszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525344327338068919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-12671402957727317692008-10-21T10:42:00.000-07:002008-10-21T10:42:00.000-07:00Kalyn,I've learned so much about different herbs w...Kalyn,<BR/>I've learned so much about different herbs with WHB.

Nobody wanted to eat it, including myself.
