IRU Spice, What Is It

Few in Western cultures have ever heard of IRU, but they have heard its other name. But what is it?
Today I talk about IRU, it's origins, it's applications, what it smells like, and what it tastes like. Then I use some to make a butter for my scrambled egg and lion mane mushroom lunch.

Thank you so much! 😊

[@enobongasanga7433]

Another common thing it's used for is egusi soup!

[@JoyFay]

I grew up eating Iru so it doesn’t smell bad to me

[@WithFrankie]

What kind of things did you make/eat with it in it? :-)

[@noneyabusiness2237]

Precisely WHY use this instead of just Carob?
