Nutritional Benefits of Editan Soup

One of the standout qualities of Editan leaves (the main ingredient) is their medicinal and nutritional value. Locals often refer to Editan leaves as “nature’s healer” because of their health benefits:

• Rich in fiber: Supports digestion and promotes gut health.
• Packed with vitamins and minerals: Strengthens the immune system and boosts overall wellness.
• Detoxifying properties: Traditionally believed to cleanse the body of toxins.

When combined with proteins like goat meat, beef, stockfish, or periwinkle, Editan Soup becomes a power-packed dish that fuels your body while delighting your taste buds.

Key Ingredients:

To prepare authentic Editan Soup, a few essential ingredients come into play:

• Fresh Editan leaves (squeezed to remove bitterness)
• Palm oil
• Assorted meats (beef, goat meat, or chicken)
• Stockfish and dry fish
• Ground crayfish
• Seasoning cubes, pepper, and salt
• Periwinkles (optional, but highly traditional)

The combination of these ingredients creates a rich, earthy, and slightly bitter flavor profile that makes this soup unique from other Nigerian soups.
