Native Jollof Rice is more than just a dish; it represents the rich cultural heritage and flavors of West Africa. This version of jollof rice is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that should not be missed. “Originating from Nigeria, "Native" Jollof rice stands apart from the traditional Nigerian version due to variations in oil type and other ingredients. Referred to as Iwuk Edesi by the Efik people in Southeastern Nigeria, this delectable dish incorporates palm oil instead of vegetable oil. It also showcases an array of local ingredients, such as fermented locust beans (Iru), Ugu (pumpkin leaves), spinach or basil (Efinrin), and dried or smoked seafood. The distinct blend of flavors and textures truly sets Native Jollof rice apart. Our unique blend of spices imparts an additional layer of flavor that enhances the authenticity of native jollof, resulting in an unmatched, genuinely traditional taste.
