About this dish
It is made with ground dry ogbono seeds. The seed is a major ingredient in various West African cuisines and it is made with considerable local variation across cultures. According to research by Chris Chinaka and J.C. Obiefuna, ogbono is an indigenous forest tree associated with plants classified as "non-timber forest products". It goes by various indigenous names among Nigerians. The common use of the word “ogbono” in general Nigerian parlance stems from the Igbo name for the word. Among the Nupe people, it is called 'pekpeara', 'ogwi' in Bini, 'uyo' in Efik, and 'oro' or ‘apon’ in Yoruba, and 'goro' or 'goronor' in Hausa. Although ogbono and ugiri, the Igbo name for bush-mango, are very similar and often regarded as equivalents, there is technically a distinction.
