ABOUT THIS NATURAL FOOD SEASONING

The African Locust bean is a plant nutrient with a black tasty intense-scent seasoning called "Iru" in the Yoruba language, "ogili" in the Igbo language, and when boiled and fermented, is known as "DawaDawa" in the Hausa language.

It is rich in lipids, calcium, carbohydrates, and a good source of protein, as it belongs to the legume plant family and is consumed either in its mashed or free form.

Here are its health benefits:
1. It's rich in antioxidants that boost your body's immune system and digestion.
2. It contains lipids that eliminate bad fats and improve your heart health level.
3. Source of fibre that controls body sugar levels reduces the risk of diabetes and diarrhea.
4. It helps to promote good sight; this was my first motivation to eat it.
5. An anticancer nutrient, I recommend you offtime replace many chemically synthesized seasonings with this natural seasoning.

Locust beans can be added to almost every meal, not just because it tasteful🥳 but because of their distingue health benefits.

Good evening and happy democracy day.
