About Edikaikong soup
Edikaikong Soup is a traditional Nigerian dish originating from Cross River and Akwa Ibom States. Celebrated for its rich flavor and nutritional benefits, this delicacy is a staple in Efik and Ibibio cuisines. It features a vibrant mix of fresh leafy vegetables, typically fluted pumpkin leaves (ugu) and waterleaf, combined with assorted meats, smoked fish, dried prawns, and sometimes stockfish. Palm oil adds depth to its flavor while seasoning and pepper provide an aromatic kick. Known for its high nutritional content, Edikaikong Soup is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the vegetables, along with protein from the meat and seafood. Its low carbohydrate content makes it a popular choice for healthy eating. However, the inclusion of palm oil can increase calorie density and saturated fat, so portion control is recommended to maintain balance in a nutritious diet.
