Have a great lunch like pounded yam and vegetable soup








Ingredients.

Yam is a great cellfood and an alkaline food. 100 g of yam  provides 118 calories. it is composed of complex carbohydrates and soluble dietary fibre making it a great source for energy. It contains small amounts of vitamin-A, and carotenes which converts to vitamin A in the body. Both these compounds are strong antioxidants. Vitamin A has many functions like maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin, night vision, growth and protection from lung and oral cavity cancers.

Ukazi leaves are high in dietary fibre, water leaves are also high in fibre, antioxidants, iron and rich in vitamin C, ugwu leaves rich in iron, lowers cholesterol, anti bacterial and boosts the immune system.

You can also see some kpomo as I am trying to avoid meat these days, dry fish, cray fish, palm oil and see salt.

Do not over cook your vegetables because it reduces the potency, always watch your portions.
