Katuk, often referred to as the “sweet leaf” plant, is a versatile leafy green known for its sweet, nutty flavor and is a valuable addition to food forests. This compact, shrub-like plant typically reaches a height of 3-6 feet and has a bushy growth habit, making it suitable for smaller garden spaces. Katuk is appreciated for its nutritious, edible leaves, which can be enjoyed fresh in salads, cooked as a green vegetable, or used in various culinary creations, and its resilience in various climates and continuous harvesting potential make it a practical choice to enhance both nutrition and biodiversity in food forests. To cultivate katuk successfully, provide well-drained soil, regular watering, and encourage branching through pruning to ensure a steady supply of fresh leaves.
