Black soup (With starch)
A nutrient-dense, medicinal specialty from the Edo people of Nigeria, featuring a dark, silky herb-based soup served with smooth, amber-colored Starch (Usi).
Delve into the rich culinary heritage of the Midwestern region of Nigeria with our Authentic Black Soup and Starch. Known traditionally as Omoebe, this unique soup gets its deep, signature color and complex earthy flavor from a potent blend of ground bitter leaf, scent leaf, and uziza. Beyond its bold taste, Black Soup is highly regarded for its health benefits, acting as a natural detoxifier and a rich source of essential minerals.
We pair this savory masterpiece with Starch (Usi), a traditional “swallow” made from high-quality cassava, processed until it reaches a perfectly smooth, stretchy, and translucent consistency with a hint of palm oil. This combination offers a sophisticated texture contrast that is currently gaining massive popularity in the US among food explorers and health-conscious diners seeking “superfood” African alternatives.
