Mother Africa Whole Ogbono seeds are used to make ogbono soup — one of the most popular and distinctive soups in Nigerian cooking. When ground and added to the pot, ogbono creates a thick, mucilaginous texture that is the signature of the dish, similar in character to okra soup but with its own particular flavour. The 80g pack contains the whole seeds — grind in a clean coffee grinder or spice mill before use, then stir into the simmering pot of seasoned stock and meat. A must-have ingredient for anyone cooking authentic Nigerian ogbono soup. Mother Africa is a trusted brand for West African ingredients.
