🥬 1. Ugu (Fluted Pumpkin Leaves) – A Natural Source of Iron

Widely used in African cooking, ugu is rich in iron, essential for red blood cell production and energy levels. Studies show it’s a great dietary support for people with low iron levels and fatigue.

Use it in: Stews, soups, or blended into smoothies for a nutritional boost.

🍍 2. Pineapple – Enzymes and Immunity

Pineapple is packed with bromelain, an enzyme that supports digestion and reduces inflammation. Combined with its high vitamin C content, pineapple is a tropical powerhouse for your immune system.

Enjoy it: Fresh, juiced, or grilled with your favourite proteins.

🥑 3. Avocado – Healthy Fats for a Healthy Heart

Avocados are a rich source of heart-friendly monounsaturated fats, fibre, and potassium. Studies link regular avocado intake with lower bad cholesterol and improved cardiovascular health.

Try it in: Toasts, dips, or sliced into a fresh salad.

🥕 4. Carrots – Vision and Skin Support

Carrots are packed with beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. This supports eye health and radiant skin. They’re also high in fibre for gut support.

Eat them: Raw, roasted, or added to your stews and rice dishes.

🍠 5. Sweet Potatoes – Gut Health and Energy

Sweet potatoes are high in fibre and antioxidants, supporting a healthy gut and steady energy release. Research also shows they may help regulate blood sugar and inflammation.
