Gum Leaves To Your Diet

Gum leaves are an incredibly versatile food source. They are a nutrient-dense vegetable and can be used in a variety of dishes. They are also known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties. In this blog post, we will discuss the nutritional benefits of gum leaves, the various ways to use them in cooking, and how to purchase them.

Nutrition Facts

Gum leaves packed with essential vitamins and minerals. They are a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Additionally, they contain proteins like tryptophan which helps regulate moods and appetite hormones; lysine which helps maintain healthy skin; and cystine which helps repair damaged tissues.

Using

Cooked in many different ways – boiled, steamed or sautéed. When boiling them for salads or soups it is best to boil them for only three minutes. As overboiling can cause them to become mushy. If steaming or sautéing gum leaves make sure not to cook them too long as they will lose their vibrant green colour. Instead cook until just wilted then season with salt and pepper before serving as a side dish or adding to salads or stir fries.
Gum Leaves also used as part of a stuffing mix when making pies or sidedishes such as dolmades (rice wrapped in grapevine leaves). For an interesting twist on pizza add some wilted gumleaves before baking your pizza base. The tartness of the gumleaves works great with mozzarella cheese!
