Oha (Pterocarpus mildbraedii) is a unique leafy vegetable native to southeastern Nigeria. Known for its slightly bitter-sweet and earthy taste, Oha leaves are tender and delicate, making them perfect for soups. The leaves are usually torn by hand rather than cut, as chopping can make them turn dark and alter the flavor. Oha is a seasonal vegetable, and its fresh leaves are highly sought after when in season.
