Description

ABACHA is a traditional Nigerian delicacy made from dried, shredded cassava, also known as “African salad.” This versatile dish is a staple in Igbo cuisine, often served as a snack, appetizer, or main meal. The cassava is processed by boiling, slicing, and sun-drying to achieve a unique chewy texture, which is then rehydrated and mixed with a rich blend of spices, palm oil, utazi (bitter leaf), ugba (ukpaka – fermented oil bean seed), and other flavorful ingredients like dried fish, crayfish, and peppers.

Abacha is cherished for its bold, earthy taste, slightly nutty undertones, and satisfying crunch. It can be enjoyed in various ways—plain, with a side of fried fish, or garnished with fresh vegetables for extra freshness. This product offers a convenient, ready-to-prepare version of Abacha, saving time while preserving the authentic taste of homemade preparation.

Perfect for cultural celebrations, family gatherings, or everyday meals, Abacha brings a taste of Nigerian tradition to your table.
