What Is Bitter Leaf?
Bitter Leaf, botanically known as Vernonia amygdalina, is a well-known African vegetable used widely in traditional soups, herbal remedies, and nutritional therapy. As its name implies, the leaf is bitter but becomes mildly palatable after proper washing or drying.
At Mountaintop Worldwide Export Limited, we supply clean, hygienically processed Bitter Leaf in fresh, partially washed, fully washed, and dried forms—carefully packaged for export to meet global food safety and freshness standards.
