Cooking Potash (Kaun/Akanwu) - Soup Thickening Agent - 100g

Cooking Potash, also known as Kaun or Akanwu, is an edible mineral salt used in Nigerian cooking primarily when preparing Ewedu and Okro soup. It boosts the viscosity of these soups, giving them their signature slimy, drawing texture, while also helping to enhance and preserve the green color of the vegetables used. Only a small pinch is typically needed to achieve the desired effect, making a single pack last through many pots of soup.

How to use: Dissolve a small pinch in a little water, then add to Ewedu or Okro soup while cooking to boost thickness and preserve color.

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