About this deal

According to my mum, the funniest part of it all is that I never allowed anyone else to feed me this soup because I find pleasure in executing the task. So you can understand where I am coming from when I mentioned that my favourite soup is ogbono soup. Well, you can say that my passion for this soup did not just start overnight. This has been from the onset of my journey on this planet earth. The fats in ogbono are primarily saturated fatty acids (~97%), and the remainder is a combination of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Also, palm oil is an essential part of this meal you can also increase or reduce the quantity you use. It all depends on your personal preference. Diabetes has remained a challenging health condition that has caused the loss of several lives. Ngondi et al., (2005) agree that ogbono seed is capable of reducing fasting blood glucose levels in obese beings. Furthermore, Sulaimon et al., (2015) study evaluated the antidiabetic properties of Irvingia gabonensis leaf and bark extracts on alloxan induced diabetic rats. The ethanol extract might contain compounds that behave similarly like non-narcotic analgesic agents. The results of this study are the first pharmacological basis that supports the traditional use of Irvingia gabonensis as a pain remedy. The bark can be boiled and used for relieving tooth painStudies have found that the seed extracts of Irvingia gabonensis can reduce bad cholesterol levels and increase good cholesterol levels in people who are overweight [ 5]. Weight loss This was carried out as a double-blind randomised study using 40 subjects. 28 subjects received Irvingia gabonensis 1.05 g three times a day for one month while 12 subjects were on placebo and the same schedule. The obese patients given Irvingia gabonensis had a significant decrease in triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol with an increase in HDL-cholesterol. However, the placebo group showed no changes in blood lipid components. This suggests that Irvingia gabonensis seed is suitable for weight management. The ogbono tree measures between 15 to 40 meters with slightly buttressed bole. It bears edible mango-like fruits that are highly valued for their nutritious nuts. Ogbono tree is prevalent in the dry and wet tropical zones such as Nigeria, Angola, Uganda, Congo, Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire and Southeast Asia. It can grow in a farmland, semi-deciduous forest, canopied bush or gallery forests. Although this fruit is also referred to as bush mango, yet it is in no way similar with mango fruit.

Ogbono fruits are available from May to September, with peak harvesting in June and July. The fruit is oval-shaped and broad, with a thin skin, fleshy pulp when ripe and a hard, stony nut encasing a soft, oil-rich kernel wrapped inside a brown seed coat. Dika bread: The ogbono seeds are pounded into a cake called ‘dika bread’ or ‘odika bread’ for easy use and all-year-round preservation [ 11]. Odumade, Omotolani (May 21, 2018). "Soups every Nigerian should be able to make". Pulse.ng . Retrieved October 2, 2018.For this recipe, I used beef, shaki (tripe), and cow feet. The shaki was already cleaned, so that saved me some work.
