Kontomire refers to the leaves of the cocoyam (taro) plant, commonly used in Ghanaian cuisine. These nutrient-rich, dark green leaves are a key ingredient in dishes like kontomire stew, which is made with palm oil, onions, tomatoes, and proteins such as fish or eggs. Kontomire is valued for its high iron, fiber, and vitamin content, making it a healthy and delicious addition to many traditional Ghanaian meals.
