This vegetable is known for its high iron content and nutritious benefits. In fact, it is said to have more iron than spinach! This is one of the health benefits that this vegetable is associated with. It’s very easy to make and doesn’t require a lot of skill at all. Tsine (Blackjack), also known as Ucucube in one of our official languages here in Zimbabwe is a dried leafy green vegetable, communally known as mufushwa. I played around with it here, giving it a slight modern and tasty twist!
