My favourite food is Afang soup :). It's a local dish prepared by the South- South people of Nigeria, that is, mostly Akwa Ibom and Cross River. And I just happen to be from Akwa Ibom.
Afang Soup is most times made from Okazi leaves and Water leaves. Then you add several other ingredients such as periwinkles, stock fish, roasted fish, meat, etc.
It is my favourite cause of its nutritional value. And here are some of it's health benefits:

  • Afang soup is rich in essential dietary fibre. Dietary fibres which have proven to be very good for weight loss and it helps prevent constipation.
  • The Okazi leaves used is rich in iodine. Iodine helps prevent goitre.
  • It contains alot of anti-oxidants which are important in preventing oxidation
  • The water leaf component helps slow down the digestion and conversion of starch to simple sugars.
