Finding high-quality, fresh, sand-free vegetables in Lekki can sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. Many supermarkets pack them in plastic wraps, making it hard to see if they've started to rot underneath, while open-air roadside stalls expose them to dust and vehicle exhaust fumes.
What to Look For:
- Color: Leaves should be vibrantly green. Avoid leaves with yellow edges, black spots, or mold.
- Texture: Fresh Ugwu or spinach should feel crisp and snap easily. If it feels limp or slimy, it is past its prime.
- Moisture: Too much condensation in packed bags accelerates rotting. Choose dry-packed leaves.
