Dawadawa! or we must be out of our minds!
They have Dawadawa at my local Afro shop! So I can’t even say that I had to go through a hard and wearing journey to get this Afrikan spice.

@ObadeleKambon after your smoothie ingredients list got me stumbling into Dawadawa I just had to try it. It being an indigenous ingredient replaced by western poisenous flavor enhancers made me very curious.
So there it is: raw taste is soily, a bit salty, slightly like roasted peanut, light bitter. I like it.
In the smoothie this morning half a teaspoon (per cup) definitetly left it’s note. And took out the acid to a sertain degree. I liked it!
I also used it in the Egusi stew today, but I could not taste the modest amount I added. Actually I had tasted it raw just now tat I am writing. I now know that I can add about a tea spoon for the next stew.
I strongly encourage you all to invite Dawadawa back into your kitchens and cooking places! We must have been out of our minds to replace it!
Ase!
