πΏ What is Ogbono?
Ogbono refers to the seed of the wild mango fruit. When ground and cooked, Ogbono produces a mucilaginous (slimy) texture, making it a perfect natural thickener for soups and stews. It is a staple ingredient in Ogbono soup, a beloved West African dish.
Also known as:
-
Irvingia gabonensis (scientific name)

Apon (Yoruba)
