Locust beans, also known as Iru, Ogiri, or Dawadawa, are a traditional African seasoning made from the fermented seeds of the Parkia biglobosa tree. This flavorful ingredient is widely used in West African cuisine to enhance the taste of soups, stews, and sauces with its rich, umami depth.
Packed with essential nutrients, locust beans are a great source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them not only a delicious addition to meals but also beneficial for digestion and overall health. Their natural fermentation process promotes gut health and adds a distinctive aroma and taste to dishes.
Whether used in traditional dishes like Egusi soup, Ogbono soup, or Banga soup, locust beans bring an authentic and hearty flavor that makes every meal special.
