| dcterms.description | Green leaves could provide a large part of our protein requirements at a fraction of the cost of more traditional protein foods. A small UK relief agency 'Find Your Feet Ltd.', is already supporting the production of green leaf protein by village communities in several developing countries, and a nationwide programme in Kenya is in the pipeline. According to Dr. Peter Fellows of Oxford Polytechnic, green leaves can produce three products: a protein rich curd with Vitamin A, iron and calcium, a fibrous material suitable for ruminant fodder, and a sugary whey rich in potassium and phosphorus which can be used as a feed supplement or fertilizer. The leaf protein can be eaten fresh within a day or stored, either dried or preserved with salt or acid. Research at Oxford Polytechnic aims at developing new ways of preserving the protein curd and finding other uses for the whey, as well as improving the efficiency of the pulping machines.
