Description: A bundle of fresh Mfumbwa - leaves of the forest vine Gnetum africanum as sold in central Africa markets. Because the leaves are a bit tough, they are chopped first. The chopping is somewhat unique - very fine and usually done by the vendor at the market for the customer. Traditionally cooked in a peanut butter sauce. Mfumbwa is a Kongo dialect name. The recipe name can vary between local languages in the central Africa Congo region where the vine Gentem africanum can be harvested.
