Hello everyone, how are you? Do you know this type of vegetable?
In my place, this vegetable can be called katuk leaf vegetable. These leaves have several properties such as facilitating breast milk, reducing inflammation and speeding up wound healing.
Because I haven't eaten this vegetable for a long time, today I will make a menu of clear katuk leaf vegetables.
For this clear vegetable menu of katuk leaves, I added a little peanuts. Peanuts also have many health benefits. Here is the recipe!!

Katuk leaves are a type of plant that easily lives in tropical areas, we usually plant them in gardens. I used to have a neighbor who had a katuk leaf garden at his house, usually he would harvest it once a week and then sell it at the market.
The price of katuk leaves is quite expensive, because the plant is rare, causing the market demand price to rise.
This katuk leaf has beautiful flowers on its stem. I remember very well when I was little, I always played with this flower. Usually I will pick the katuk leaf flowers and then I will stick them on my forehead, nose or ears. I often do this with friends.
The picture below is the result of my cooking, what do you think??
In my area, the katuk leaf vegetable is highly recommended for consumption by mothers who are breastfeeding, because the katuk leaf can facilitate breast milk.
In my opinion, the taste of katuk leaves is the same as spinach, so you don't need to hesitate to try it. Thank you for reading my post today, wish you health and happiness. See you again with my next post.
