Morogo
Morogo, also known as wild or African spinach, refers to a group of at least three different dark green leafy vegetables found throughout Southern Africa and harvested for human consumption. It is considered a traditional South African dish〔Independent Online〕 and forms an important part of the staple diet in rural communities.〔Science in Africa〕
==Health benefits and safety==
Morogo leaves have a protein content of up to 36%. The ultimate vitamin content is dependent on the age of the plant and method of preparation; the plants contain vitamin A and vitamin C and complement the low levels of calcium, magnesium and iron in maize.〔Conservation and utilization of indigenous vegetables in Botswana〕
An examination of three widely consumed variants have found that its consumption may lower the risk of vascular-related chronic diseases and type 2 diabetes.〔Public Health Nutrition〕
However, in some circumstances Morogo may increase the risk of fungal infection, specifically fusariosis, especially among imuno-compromised individuals such as those suffering from Aids. A study found high levels of ''Alternaria'' fungi in internal leaf structures and ''Fusarium'' fungi on leaf surfaces.〔The occurrence of toxogenic moulds in traditional household Morogo of Giyana〕 A separate study asserts that Morogo is not a natural host to Fusarium, but may be cross-infected by close proximity to maize crops.〔The level of mycotic and mycotoxigenic Fusaria in traditional morogo and the agro-environment of Dikgale Demographic Surveillance Site〕
