Ogbono Grounded 1 kg: This plant grows freely in the tropical rain forest of Africa, and its fruit, the African bush mango is eaten all across this region, from Senegal, via Nigeria, Angola to Uganda.

The Ogbono also called ogbolo or etima seed, when ground and combined with vegetables and spices and cooked with fish and or meat, is used to make the popularogbono soup in Nigeria, Ghana, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Sierra Leone.
