Description
Also commonly called afang or eru, Gnetum africanum is a wild vine with lots of nutritious value and health-boosting compounds. Though it is technically not a domesticated or cultivated plant, its potential as a subsistence food for health and nutrients has led it to be wild foraged in its native habitat and purposefully cultivated as a nourishing potherb and vegetable.
Even more convenient than its value as a cooked vegetable is its use as a powdered phytocompound- and nutrient-rich supplement. Since Gnetum africanum was traditionally used in soups and stews, the powder can also be mixed and consumed in these food preparations.
