Iru Locust Beans

IRU, fermented locust bean, is a traditional condiment in Nigeria and West Africa, commonly used to flavor stews, sauces, and rice dishes. It has a strong, pungent aroma but adds an earthy umami flavor to food. Once a primary seasoning before bouillon cubes, fermentation enhances its taste and helps preserve it.
