Dried Locust beans / Iru

Dried iru, made from fermented African locust beans, is a staple in West African cuisine, particularly in Nigerian and Ghanaian dishes. Known for its deep, earthy flavor and rich aroma, dried iru enhances the taste of soups, stews, sauces, and vegetables like egusi and okro. Beyond its taste, iru is valued for its nutritional benefits, providing protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and calcium.

To use, simply soak dried iru in warm water to rehydrate before adding to dishes. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. With its authentic taste, dried iru brings the bold flavors of West Africa into your kitchen, enhancing meals with minimal effort.
