Product Details

These are small, freshwater crustaceans (similar to tiny shrimp or crawfish) that have been sun-dried or smoked whole. They are a cornerstone ingredient in Nigerian and West African cooking, prized for their unique, pungent aroma and deep seafood umami. They are sold whole and can be used as-is or ground into a powder before use.
Common Uses: A fundamental ingredient in Jollof rice, Egusi soup, Efo Riro (vegetable stew), and countless other soups and pottages.
They add both a distinctive flavor and a slightly gritty, desirable texture when ground.
