Description
Nava Foods Premium Oil Bean (Ugba) is made from carefully sliced, traditionally
fermented African oil bean seeds, dried and packaged under hygienic conditions. Ugba
is a rich, flavorful delicacy used in Eastern Nigerian cuisine, especially in Abacha, African
salads, and soups.
Preparation Suggestions:
For African Salad (Abacha/Ugba Mix):
1. Rinse Ugba in clean warm water to rehydrate.
2. Add to prepared Abacha (cassava flakes), with palm oil, pepper, onion, and seasoning.
3. Mix thoroughly and garnish with garden egg, crayfish, or proteins of choice.
For Soups or Stews:
1. Rinse and soak Ugba in warm water for 5–10 minutes.
2. Add during the final stages of cooking your soup or stew.
Do not overcook Ugba to retain its distinctive aroma and texture.

This ugba exceeded my expectations! It’s soft, flavorful, and free from any unpleasant metallic or musty smell. It enhanced every meal I used it in, from vegetable stews to traditional local dishes. Beautifully packaged as well.

Absolutely fantastic ugba! The 1 kg bag is generous, and the beans are clean, wellv prepped, and bursting with traditional flavor. Perfect for salads, stews, or pepper soup toppings. Texture and taste are on point just like homemade.

Impressive quality and consistency. The oil bean slices are firm but tender with an authentic aroma that really lifts local dishes like ugba pepper and palm oil soups. This will be my go to brand from now on.
