Camp tips
- • Fresh atama leaves provide a stronger aroma than dried leaves.
- • Avoid overcooking the leaves to preserve their flavour.
- • The soup is traditionally prepared with palm fruit extract rather than ordinary palm oil.
- • Keep perishables at 40°F (4°C) or below in a monitored cooler. Discard food left above that temperature for over 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Use potable water, wash hands, and pack out scraps. Never cook inside a tent. Check local fire restrictions.
