  • Sumbala or soumbala is a fermented seed condiment used widely across West Africa. It is usually prepared by women over the course of several days, traditionally from 'néré (Parkia biglobosa) seeds. It can be made from other kinds of seeds, such as those of Prosopis africana,
    The fabrication process involves boiling, cleaning and then packing away to ferment - the fermentation process giving it a pungent smell. Salt can be added to the finished product to facilitate storage life.
    This condiment is traditionally sold in balls or patties that can be kept for several months at a time in the case of the best quality. It is a traditional ingredient used across West Africa.
    The traditional production now faces strong competition from low-quality stock cubes. Sumbala is rich in proteins and a variety of dietary minerals, which are completely absent from these bouillon cubes. In recent years, however, good quality commercial production has allowed the product to make a comeback into everyday cuisine.
    Names and variants in several different languages of the region include:
    Hausa: dawadawa, daddawa
    Pulaar/Pular: ojji
    Yoruba: iru
    Serer, Saafi, Wolof: netetou
    Krio: kainda
    Susu: Kenda
    Zarma: doso mari
    Dagbanli: Kpalgu
    Mooré: Colgo
    Konkomba language: tijun, tijon

    I always choose dawa dawa over synthesised stock cube versions.
    The benefits of using the real thing healthwise are enormous.
    Not to mention we need to support and preserve the cottage industries of our Aunties, against the greed and might of multinationals who would have no qualms if their products gave us poorer health and modern diseases.

    As ghanian living in Netherlands, on my retun home i wouldn't come back to Netherlands without having my balls of dawadawa. The chemistry of it in the soup is soooo great, trust me.

    Watching all the way from Nigeria where dawadawa is made all over the country. It STINKS! But it tastes so gooood 😅 And most important- it's an excellent probiotic, so very good for gut health. In Nigeria it can be sold as free separate beans, or molded in balls or in dry flat cakes, or in dry powder form. It really depends on which part of Nigeria you're in. I've used this in cooking for YEARS, but never knew how it was prepared. Thank you for taking us along.

    This is the best video on the processing of dawadawa or iru.
    It shows the A to Z and is a good guide.
    I have just processed some iru. It's very stressful and smelly but the end results are great.
    I used a pressure pot to speed things up.

    Keeping it in the room for three days is the fermentation process. Fermented foods are very good for us.

    The fruit itself is very delicious and is called Dori. It can be eaten on it's own or used for porridge .It is mostly eaten by the children before the seeds are collected or the fruit could be washed off before.Kpalgu is indeed delicious but only after cooking 🤣🤣🤣.Dagombas are some funny people.

    No offense.
    It smells like a mixture of s*** and very bad saliva.
    The smells can remain in your house for over 48 hours.

      It never true that the smell can remain in the house for 48hrs. Moreover the fermentation process that make it smell. Just like covered corn dough.
