Atama leaf is call bush apple leaf in English and it's botanical name is heinsia crinita. The leave has a lot of nutritional value has its help reduce cholesterol level and increase good cholesterol in human s, it contains folic acid etc.

There are different methods of preparing Atama soup, I prepared mine using palm fruit juice also know as abak and melon.

I sliced the atama leaf and washed it using hot water to reduce the bitterness and then filtered it.

I cooked the palm fruit and pounded it to get the juice
