Notes
Bitterleaf (Vernonia spp.) is, despite its common name, a very popular leafy vegetable, commonly found in Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its rising popularity in and outside its region of origin, plus its scarcity during the dry season, has encouraged the Cameroon training and research centre CFAPP to develop a practical method for drying and conserving the leaves. CFAPP provides training in this and in marketing the end product. CFAPP BP 148, Nkongsamba, Cameroon Fax: + 237 49 17 39 Email: cfapp.gic@benoue.camnet.cm
