ATAMA LEAVES || Available at Steemchurch Telos Village
It is usually recommended and advisable to add Atama to the palm fruit sauce before it starts boiling, to prevent it from being bitter.
Atama stores quite well as dried leaves and can be used in Abak soup even in the dried state. To keep the green color in the dried state, you shred the vegetable and cold dry in an air conditioned room for a couple of hours . Atama leaves are usually shredded very thinly just like you will do for Afang. To store for a long time keep in an air tight container in the freezer.
The base palm fruit concentrate used in preparing Abak Atama makes it similar to the Banga soup of the Niger Delta origin and the Ofe Akwu of the Igbos but the difference is in the spices and vegetables used for each of these soups and stews.
It is worthy of note that, there are severalsoup and numerous benefits associated with eating Atama Soup.
