Dawadawa (Locust Beans)
Dawadawa: A Traditional West African Seasoning
Dawadawa, also called locust beans, is a fermented seasoning used in soups and stews across West Africa. It adds depth and richness to dishes and is often described as an acquired taste loved by those who grew up with it.
Because it’s rarely found in mainstream stores, African markets are the go-to source.
