Nigerian cuisine is known for its bold, layered flavours — and that depth comes from a rich tradition of spices and seasonings passed down through generations.
Don't let the name fool you — this is a Nigerian kitchen staple. Ground dried scotch bonnet or habanero peppers, it brings serious heat to soups, stews, and marinades.
The magic behind street-side suya. A blend of groundnut powder, ginger, cayenne, and other spices. Use it on grilled meats, roasted plantain, or even popcorn.
Fermented locust bean paste with a powerful aroma. It adds deep umami flavour to ewedu, ogbono, and other traditional soups. A little goes a long way.
Aromatic and slightly sweet, ehuru is essential in pepper soup, nkwobi, and some traditional Igbo dishes. Toast it lightly before grinding.
Similar to ogiri but used differently across regions. This fermented locust bean condiment is a flavour bomb in stews and soups.
Peppery leaves and seeds that add a distinctive warmth to soups like ofe nsala (white soup) and afang soup.
