Overview

This study assessed the nutritional, social, and cultural potential of mothers’ cooking clubs that encouraged mothers to incorporate two wild leafy greens in their child’s diet. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to investigate this objective.

Findings showed that there was increased consumption of these wild leafy greens as a result of the mothers’ cooking class. It was also shown that these leafy greens can improve the micronutrient profile of the diet in these communities.
