Palm nut soup

Palm nut soup is a type of soup prepared from palm fruit that is popular in the African culture. It was invented by the Urhobo tribe of Delta State, Nigeria. Palm nut soup has evolved into a European dish.

Banga is a sort of palm fruit soup from Nigeria's southern Niger Delta, specifically from the Itsekiri ethnic group. This cuisine is distinct from "Ofe Akwu," a variety prevalent in Igbo culture. In terms of ingredients and technique, the Binis have a soup made from palm fruits that is comparable to "Ofe Akwu."

The delicacy is served alongside various foods in Nigeria, such as starch (Usi) for the Urhobo people of Delta State, Nigeria, banku for Ghana, and rice for the Igbo tribe. Banga soup is seasoned with beletete, aidan fruit, rohojie, Obenetietien (Banga spice leaves), a stick of oburunbebe, finely chopped onion, crushed crayfish, chili pepper or scotch bonnet, and salt. The soup is sometimes served with kwacoco, a cocoyam (taro) pudding. Fresh catfish (fresh fish Banga soup), dried/smoked fish, or beef are commonly used in the preparation of Banga Soup.
