So, what is elephant bush?
Elephant bush is a succulent plant with fleshy green leaves that resemble elephant ears, hence its name. It's often used as an ornamental plant, but it also has culinary uses. The leaves of the plant are edible and can be used raw in salads or cooked as a vegetable. Elephant bush is rich in beneficial nutrients such as vitamins A and C, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It has a slightly sour taste, which works well with spicy and tangy flavors. This versatile ingredient adds a unique flavor and texture to dishes and is popular in South African cuisine.
