Description
DRY UGBA is a traditional African food ingredient made from fermented African oil bean seeds (Pentaclethra macrophylla), also known as Ukpaka or Ukana. This versatile product is sun-dried or dehydrated to preserve its rich, earthy flavor and chewy texture, making it a staple in Nigerian and West African cuisine—particularly in dishes like Ugba Soup, Abacha (African Salad), and native delicacies.
Unlike fresh or pre-seasoned Ugba, DRY UGBA offers extended shelf life and requires rehydration before use. It retains its natural nutty, slightly bitter taste and umami depth, enhancing soups, salads, and stews with an authentic, fermented aroma. Ideal for home cooks, restaurants, and food vendors, this product is a convenient way to enjoy traditional flavors without the hassle of fermentation.
