Description

Ewédú is a beloved Yoruba soup made from the leaves of the jute plant, known for its distinctive smooth, slightly stretchy texture. This organic, dried version is ready to cook whenever you need it.

Ewedu is traditionally served alongside Gbegiri and a rich stew as part of the full Abula meal, eaten with Amala.

Cook the leaves down with a pinch of potash or baking soda to help achieve that classic silky texture, then blend or whisk until smooth.

Recipe tip: A small pinch of potash helps break down the leaves faster for that signature smooth, stretchy texture.
