Bring the authentic taste of Nigerian home cooking to your kitchen with our Ofor Powder, a traditional soup thickener that helps you prepare rich, delicious and satisfying African soups.

Ofor is derived from processed and ground seeds of the Detarium microcarpum tree. Widely used in traditional Nigerian cooking, particularly in southeastern Nigeria, it is valued for its ability to thicken soups and enhance their texture. 

Whether you're preparing a comforting family meal or recreating your favourite Nigerian recipes abroad, our Ofor Powder provides a convenient way to achieve the consistency you love in traditional soups.

Why Choose Our Ofor Powder?

• Ideal for thickening traditional Nigerian soups.
• Perfect for Oha Soup, Bitterleaf Soup and Egusi Soup.
• Helps create a rich, smooth and satisfying soup texture.
• Can be used as an alternative to Achi or cocoyam thickener in suitable recipes.
• Convenient to measure and incorporate into cooking.
• A versatile pantry essential for authentic African meals.

Ofor is used in these soup preparations, although the quantity and flavour may differ when substituting it for other thickeners. 

How to Use Ofor Powder

• Prepare your preferred Nigerian soup and bring it to a gentle simmer.
• Add a small quantity of Ofor Powder to a bowl.
• Mix with a little cool water to form a smooth, lump-free paste.
• Gradually add the mixture to your simmering soup while stirring continuously.
• Allow the soup to cook thoroughly until the desired thickness is achieved.
• Serve hot with pounded yam, eba, fufu, semolina or your favourite swallow.

Cooking Tip: Add Ofor Powder in small quantities and allow time for it to thicken the soup before adding more. This helps prevent an overly thick consistency.
