My aunt literally made me eat this leaf everyday back then. She said it was good for maintaining low sugar, but I hated it in soup. But we're blessed with some of these herbs, it literally works magic just like in your case too.

haha your aunt was VERY optimistic putting it in soup!! I've sometimes used it in a cool smoothie drink, paired with lime and mint and it's kinda nice. Usually just chomp down on the raw leaf, which turns sweet after 20-30 seconds in your mouth.
Hoping to see an entry from you for this Posting Challenge - what OTHER herb did your aunt use in soups that you might be thankful for?? Or how else did she use vernonia? Maybe tell us a funny story about the times she made you eat it back then. 😆
😂 The only time my mom made me eat the leaves was when she'd wash them for soup. She would ask me to taste on intervals to see if it's still bitter.
I can understand why you hate the soup tho... Anyone would especially because it's bitter. However, the way my mom prepares her's makes me love it so much. You wouldn't notice the bitterness at all.
Of course, herbs are truly a blessing to humanity. Thank you for stopping by Joe! ☺️
My aunt made sure the bitterness remained there which got me frustrated back then, but I guess it's not all things that are sweet that's good for the body. Hahaha.
Yeah, how are you though?
Haha, I know some people who like theirs that way... And yes, the best things for the body are usually bitter.
I'm okay, thanks. Hope you're good?
I'm just there, hopefully I'll get to text you one of these days
Alright 😊
