Nigerian soup From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ewedu soup is a Nigerian soup commonly eaten by the Yoruba ethnic group, it is known as Rama in Hausa and Ahihara in Igbo language.[1] It is believed to be best for toddlers. It is made from jute leaf and hence, otherwise called the jute leaf soup.[2] Similar to Okra soup, the soup is mucilagenous in texture and is combined with Yoruba beef stew and fish stew. Ewedu soup takes about 12 minutes to prepare and is often served with Iyan, fufu or Amala.[3]
Jute leaf scientifically known as Corchorus olitorius grows in area with water especially lakes and rivers. The best farm for Ewedu leaf is fallow or abandoned land high above 1,250 metres and 1,750 metres altitude.[4]
