- Sumbala or soumbala is a fermented seed condiment used widely across West Africa. It is usually prepared by women over the course of several days, traditionally from 'néré (Parkia biglobosa) seeds. It can be made from other kinds of seeds, such as those of Prosopis africana,
The fabrication process involves boiling, cleaning and then packing away to ferment - the fermentation process giving it a pungent smell. Salt can be added to the finished product to facilitate storage life.
This condiment is traditionally sold in balls or patties that can be kept for several months at a time in the case of the best quality. It is a traditional ingredient used across West Africa.
The traditional production now faces strong competition from low-quality stock cubes. Sumbala is rich in proteins and a variety of dietary minerals, which are completely absent from these bouillon cubes. In recent years, however, good quality commercial production has allowed the product to make a comeback into everyday cuisine.
Names and variants in several different languages of the region include:
Hausa: dawadawa, daddawa
Pulaar/Pular: ojji
Yoruba: iru
Serer, Saafi, Wolof: netetou
Krio: kainda
Susu: Kenda
Zarma: doso mari
Dagbanli: Kpalgu
Mooré: Colgo
Konkomba language: tijun, tijon

As ghanian living in Netherlands, on my retun home i wouldn't come back to Netherlands without having my balls of dawadawa. The chemistry of it in the soup is soooo great, trust me.
Especially with okra😊😊😊😊
Her own wsy of making Locust beans/dawadawa is the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
I always choose dawa dawa over synthesised stock cube versions.
The benefits of using the real thing healthwise are enormous.
Not to mention we need to support and preserve the cottage industries of our Aunties, against the greed and might of multinationals who would have no qualms if their products gave us poorer health and modern diseases.
Watching all the way from Nigeria where dawadawa is made all over the country. It STINKS! But it tastes so gooood 😅 And most important- it's an excellent probiotic, so very good for gut health. In Nigeria it can be sold as free separate beans, or molded in balls or in dry flat cakes, or in dry powder form. It really depends on which part of Nigeria you're in. I've used this in cooking for YEARS, but never knew how it was prepared. Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you watched it. Kindly share for others to see. It the fermentation process that makes it stinks 😷 3 days covered
Delicious and healthy dawadawa 😋
Exactl, thanks for watching

Wow amazing

Good job bro great to see how dawadawa is made from our mother's from Tamale upper region of Ghana❤❤
Keeping it in the room for three days is the fermentation process. Fermented foods are very good for us.
Exactly and that’s what’s makes it ferment
I love to cook with it, it's so healthy and nutritious
In Burkina 🇧🇫 we call dawa-dawa kôlgo. We used to help my grandmother to make it.
Dawadwa takes a long way to process, wow is not easy at all. We have to be thankful for eating it, and it's very, very healthy to be eating. Bro, thank you for giving us opportunity to see how dawadwa is been process, well done brother.

Oga you are doing a great job, weldon. You are diverting too much, concentrate on one so that your video will be interesting to watch.
Please what am I diverting from? Can you explain to me. Thank you 🙏🏿
Dawadawa test good but the making is so stressful
No offense.
It smells like a mixture of s*** and very bad saliva.
The smells can remain in your house for over 48 hours.
It never true that the smell can remain in the house for 48hrs. Moreover the fermentation process that make it smell. Just like covered corn dough.
👍👍👍👍
