Hello Hive
This is one of the free gift of nature that we are fortunate to eat as food, the leaves of baobab tree is what we often use to make some delicious traditional delicacies for ourselves. Just like with the use of traditional leaves it is believed that eating baobab leaves wether in soup or prepared in concortions has a lot of medicinal properties.
A lot of the northern people that eats the leaves in soups often says that it eases their bodily stress. Baobab Leaves contains a lot of fibre that is good for digestive health and aids the treatment of digestive illnesses Often times we add these leaves alongside our other traditional plants and roots for the treatment of malaria.
Yesterday I have just gotten so more of the leaves and prepared it alongside other plant root which my brother will be taking for the treatment of malaria here. Here is a mixed pot of the different herbal leaves and roots I have boiled for him.
The baobab leaves isn't often in plentiful supply all year round and since the leaves are what we often use for preparation of soup, we have harvesting a large chunk of the leaves which we are drying and processing to keep for later use.
I in particular do not know how to eat the soup but the leaves has been useful for me for the preparing the traditional herb here.
Harvesting the leaves if often a bit of a task because of the smooth nature of the surface of the tree, climbing is often difficult and in order to harvest much of the leaves we just de use various means to do so.
Here are the leaves we have been able to harvest which have been arranged in different order and categories to dry up. Afterwards they will be pounded into powder and can be stored and for continual use yearly.
Nice prepping, you got a good harvest despite the difficulty
A good harvest of vegetables, thank you so much
