Prep notes
The leaf that dulls sweet. Vitamin C and iron for a green. A few leaves in tea. Ayurveda’s sugar-destroyer — this atlas files the leaf, not the claim. Brewed cup figures vary by leaf amount and steep time; this atlas row is the catalogue entry as sold.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
