44 days agoDo you know why Ukwa is one of the most respected dishes in Igbo culture? 🤔
Or why it’s so scarce and often reserved for special people at important events?
Let’s talk about Ukwa, the elite meal that many people search for at events but can’t find.
In Igboland, Ukwa is a mark of wealth, fertility, and hospitality. Traditionally, it was served only to honored guests.
Because the tree takes many years before fruiting, every seed is precious. A household with Ukwa is considered blessed with abundance and patience.
In many Igbo communities, Ukwa is presented at important family gatherings.
It symbolizes abundance and fertility, a woman who cooks Ukwa well is praised for her skill.
Some even say, “onye riri ukwa agaghị afụ ọdachi”
Beyond culture, Ukwa is highly nutritious (rich in protein, fiber & minerals). Today, Ukwa has gone global, even sold as a superfood in the Diaspora.
Ukwa is more than food, yes or no
