It's my number one most preferred spice

Igbos use Ogirisi or Okpeyi,very smelly things but with great taste.

Their smells greatly nauseate me reason I've never used them but I eat foods cooked with them.

Ekiti loni iru
Iru loni ekiti

Dorwadora:
Of course.... That's a cool alternative

But hope it's Iru Ekiti.... My state is prided for having the best Iru in the whole of SW .... I stand to be corrected tho

Iru from Moba LGEA to be precise bro

Aimeefoods58:
Please where can I get ekiti dried iru. I want to start selling

I'm at your service just beep me.

I love it so much, but God don dash me igbo girlfriend that has come to stay. na dream she dey make me dream am since she arrived

I have not eaten it before, except unknown, and I don't want to eat it

So much love it. My grandma of blessed memory barely used magi. She used locust bean to satisfaction. Her delicacies tasted well in my mouth. She remains my heroine even in death. May I add that I rep Ekiti too. The locust beans there is topnotch. I've not seen any that comes close to it in any other place

Please put viewer's discretion to the post. It is an eyesore viewing these filthy things let alone eating them. This can never be on Bini menu. God forbid! People can eat anything.

Dorwadora:
We Yoruba call it Iru or Eware and in almost all our soup it's a compulsory ingredients. Efo riro, ila or ila alasepo, Ewedu or Ewedu Alasepo, gbegiri, Egusi, Obe isapa and many others. This Iru must be added to bring out the life of the soup.

Do other tribes in Nigeria use this ingredient and what's it called in your dialect?

Nigerians in diaspora, do you get to use Iru in your soups too?

I hate this thing with my life

ikare akoko in ondo state is saying Hi

Ewww. You have to grind it to dust before I'll even think of eating the food. If you put am raw like that I would never eat that food even if I wanna die of hunger.

Very much

I don't mind it, just don't overdo it. Or the house will smell.

Also, please blend it along with the other ingredients.

It good for the EYE.

you are absolutely right..... Was born and brought up in ekiti... Not an indigine tho., but that's part of what o miss about ekiti state.. The perfect iru

Don’t think I have ever tasted that

I use to remember how we do use it to eat eko back then... My love for locust bean is unimaginable

Dorwadora:

Some Nigerians in diaspora can't do without it especially when it comes to preparing their local dishes.

One of my inlaws bought irú worth 20k recently when she was going back.

Dorwadora:
Graphics keh?
So you mean you've never had locust beans with your food before?

No?

Your moniker sef sounds like locust beans for my language.... Dawadawa

My folks once brought this into the US.

Immigration and TSA just dey cover nose

They where like ..wtf is that in ur bag mehn....
Omo..

Con dey look ham say dis African people sha

Heat catch the IRu... the bag was oozing strong smell..

It's a must in some of my soups�like Ogbono,egusi, vegetable and ofada stew

I love iru in my ayamase, I love it in my native peppered rice, I love it in my efo riro.

We Igbos have it as okpeyi but not in this form, though.

Back in Nigeria, I hardly make stew for Yam and rice without putting enough locust beans, especially my Ofada rice. My efo riro...oh my God!
My love for it is epic! But unfortunately over here, na so so dried ones dey, and the stress of cleaning it and bringing it back to life is too stressful for me jare. I miss it though....very much!
