The seasoning that makes West African cooking sing — now in a handy 100g pack 🇬🇧

Every great West African dish has a secret. And more often than not, that secret is Dawadawa. That bold, pungent, deeply savoury fermented locust bean seasoning that transforms a good soup into an unforgettable one. A Allahu Dawadawa brings you 100% pure fermented African Locust Bean (Parkia biglobosa) in a convenient 100g pack — the same authentic flavour West African cooks have trusted for centuries, ready to go straight into your pot.

The Ingredient

🌿 100% Fermented African Locust Beans (Parkia biglobosa) — known as Dawadawa in Ghana and Northern Nigeria, Iru in Yoruba, Soumbala in Francophone West Africa, and Netetou in Senegal. Harvested, boiled, fermented, and carefully processed into a finely ground powder — concentrating centuries of West African culinary wisdom into every spoonful.

Fermentation transforms the humble locust bean into West Africa’s most complex and prized culinary seasoning — a deeply savoury, umami-rich powder with an intensity of flavour that enhances everything it touches.
