*English Bitterleaf* is one of those plants that Nigerians call “English” not because it’s from England, but because it’s the non-bitter, foreign cousin of our local bitterleaf.
*1. What it actually is*
- *Scientific name*: _Vernonia amygdalina_ var. _sweet_ – a cultivated variety of bitterleaf
- *Local names*: _Ewuro Gbigbona_ in Yoruba, _Onugbu_ in Igbo, _Shuwaka_ in Hausa
- *Why “English”*: It’s a sweeter, less bitter strain developed for easier consumption. The regular local bitterleaf is extremely bitter and needs thorough washing to be edible
*2. Appearance & Taste*
- *Leaves*: Dark green, oval-shaped, slightly larger and softer than local bitterleaf
- *Taste*: Mildly bitter to almost sweet when cooked. Doesn’t need the 10-15 washes that local bitterleaf requires
- *Texture*: More tender and cooks faster
