Fluted pumpkin leaf is a widely consumed vegetable in West Africa especially in Nigeria.it is a green vegetable and it's cultivated all through the year because of its economic importance to the households and to the nation as a whole.Nigeria is the highest producer of the vegetable in West Africa sub-region. The leaf is highly nutritious. It contains the following vitamins and minerals---;vitamin C, Sodium,Potassium,calcium, Iron,phosphorus,magnesium,zinc etc.It is also very rich in protein and fibre. The leaf is used for the treatment of anaemia,improvement and maintenance of the body tissues, offset of kidney diseases, treatment of diabetes mellitus by reducing the level of glucose in the blood etc. The importance of this unique leaf cannot be over emphasized. So, I recommend this vegetable
to everyone espcially the youths for optimum productivity.
