Ades Ofor Seeds 50g

Description

Ades Ofor Seeds 50g are dried ofor seeds — a traditional Igbo soup thickener ground into a fine powder and stirred into soups for a smooth, slightly nutty thickness. Ofor is a lighter alternative to ogbono, giving body to soup without the same heavy, gummy texture.

How to use

• Grind into a fine powder if not already milled.
• Stir a spoonful into bitter leaf soup, oha soup or other traditional soups towards the end of cooking to thicken.
• Add gradually and stir well to avoid lumps.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
• Use within 12 months for best flavour and thickening performance.
