In reply to Bukky. Yes, although sometime you cook it like that, a little tang of bitterness is good for the body.

Great
But what do I do if I get bitterleaf that has already been booked but still bitter, should I still wash and boil again?

Thank you for the recipe. But I am a bit confused about the cocoyam part. Did you boil the cocoyam before pounding or you pounded it raw?

This is wonderful, kudos to chef chidi but please i have a question, i get how to add the other ingredients but how to pound the cocoyam (sorry is it the normal cocoayam or igbo cocoayam) is what is confusing because am a yoruba lady and so much cherish bitterleaf soup. Pls if you can make video on it, it will be highly appreciated

In my place, we wash bitter leaf ground it before using it to make bitter leaf soup. When it is used together with egusi it no longer bitter leaf soup but egusi soup prepare with bitter leaf just like egusi soup prepared with ugu (pumpkin leave). I will still try this your method because no knowledge is wasted. Thank you ma
