Oak and Baker African Nutmeg 350g

African Nutmeg / Calabash Nutmeg (Wedaba / Eruhe)

The Soul of Traditional West African Soups and Stews

Unlock the deep, complex, and aromatic essence of authentic African cuisine. Oak & Baker African Nutmeg (also known as Calabash Nutmeg, Wedaba, or Eruhe) is a prized, highly aromatic spice sourced directly from the pods of the Monodora myristica tree.

Far more intricate than standard western nutmeg, this native spice delivers a powerful combination of woody, nutty heat, and a subtle hint of citrus and pine. It is the indispensable secret ingredient that gives traditional West African soups and stews their unforgettable, soul-warming depth.

How to Cook with African Nutmeg

• The Foundation for Soups: Gently roast the seeds in a dry pan to release the aromatic oils, remove the outer shell, and grind into a fine powder. Add a pinch to classic Light Soups, Pepper Soup, or Goat Light Soup for that signature, spicy undertone.

• Elevate Your Stews: Blend a small amount into the tomato and onion base for Jollof rice, Palaver sauce, or garden egg stew to add an unexpected, savory warmth.

• Traditional Baked Goods & Drinks: Grate a tiny touch into local spiced drinks like Sobolo, or incorporate it into traditional baked snacks for a fragrant twist.
