About Palm oil stew
Palm Oil Stew, known as "Ofe Akwu" in Igbo cuisine or "Banga Soup" in other West African communities, is a rich, flavorful dish originating from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It is made by extracting oil from palm fruits, then simmering it with onions, tomatoes, spices, and protein options such as fish, chicken, or beef. Often, vegetables and leafy greens like bitterleaf or spinach are added for texture and nutritional balance. Palm oil is a key ingredient, providing a source of healthy fats and vitamins A and E, which support vision and skin health. However, its high saturated fat content means moderation is necessary to avoid overconsumption. This stew is traditionally served with starches such as rice, cassava, or pounded yam, adding carbohydrates for energy. Palm Oil Stew is celebrated for its hearty and comforting qualities, embodying the vibrant flavors of West African cuisine.
