What Is Waterleaf?
Waterleaf (Talinum triangulare) is a popular green leafy vegetable native to West Africa and widely used in Nigerian and tropical cuisine. Known locally as “Gbure” in Yoruba and “Mgbolodi” in Igbo, it is highly valued for its high water content, nutritional value, and its role in traditional soups and dishes.
At Mountaintop Worldwide Export Limited, we export premium-quality, pesticide-free Waterleaf that is freshly harvested and carefully packaged for international markets.
