The main thing with ugba though is that it is fermented so even if you get the beans how will you get it to get stinky. If you can find dawadawa then you areone step close but the powder stuff is still not as good as the real thing

what is dawadawa? So have you tried the powder before, was it okay. Because the one I am getting is from the health food store, or from whole foods.

Preparation of Fermented African Oil Bean Seeds

The African oil bean seeds are prepared using the following steps:

* Boil the seeds of the African oil beans for approximately 90 minutes.
* Peel the oil bean seeds.
* Cut the seeds into slivered slices.
* Mix the slivered slices with potash[11] and salt as needed.
* Pick approximately 8 oz. [ ½ pound] of the slivered seeds and fold in a plantain leaf cut in approximate size of 5 X 8 ins.
* Place all folded slivered seeds near a heat source or sun for approximately one week to ferment. The seeds are then ready to be used for flavoring soup.[12]
