Banga Spice - Nigerian Palm Nut Soup Seasoning Blend

Banga Spice is a pre-mixed blend of the traditional ingredients needed to prepare Banga soup, a rich Nigerian palm nut soup originating from the Niger Delta/Edo/Urhobo/Itsekiri regions. Banga soup is typically made by simmering palm fruit extract with a spice blend that includes ingredients like Aridan and dried herbs, then cooked with fish, meat, and often a starch thickener, and served with a swallow like starch or Garri. This ready-made blend takes the guesswork out of sourcing individual spices, making it a convenient way to prepare an authentic-tasting Banga soup at home. Origin: Nigeria.

How to use: Add the spice blend to simmering palm fruit extract (banga) along with your choice of fish or meat, and cook until the soup thickens and the flavors meld.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
