Cucha is eaten as a side or sauce on rice dishes, and adds a tangy, spicy delight. It is something special to village life&#8211;as most of the plants are only found in the bush near the villages. Fana has been harvesting roselle (bisap) since she was 5 years old in The Gambia, and when she came to the states, she was very surprised to see it growing at the farm! Now, she cooks it as a special treat to remind her of back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\" style=\"color:#ddd\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/smallplaces.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Farm-Life_Finca-Tres-Robles-16-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3015\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Farm Apprentice, Ad\u00e9, harvesting our roselle greens earlier this week for our CSA members and for the farm store.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\" style=\"color:#ddd\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INGREDIENTES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4 cups of roselle leaves 1 cup of okra<br>Hot peppers<br>Sal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INSTRUCCIONES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Get the leaves off the stem &amp; wash them.<br>2. Boil the leaves in about 1 cup of water with 1\/4 teaspoon salt until the water is pink and the leaves are a very dark green.<br>3. Boil the okra and hot peppers in another pot until they are soft.<br>4. Blend the okra, hot peppers, and boiled roselle leaves together. If there is a lot of water left in the roselle pot, you can strain it and drink it! Some water is ok to blend.<br>5. Add salt to taste.<br>6.
