• Pair with palm oil, crayfish, scotch bonnet, and stockfish for authentic flavour.

Storage

Frequently asked

Is frozen ugu as good as fresh?

Frozen ugu retains its nutritional value and flavour very well. It is a highly practical alternative for the UK diaspora where fresh ugu can be harder to source and has a very short shelf life.
