Big Mamma Naija Banga (400g) – The Soul of Delta Style Cooking
Experience the authentic, creamy richness of the Niger Delta with Big Mamma Naija Banga. This 400g tin contains premium palm fruit extract, meticulously processed to provide the perfect base for the legendary Banga Soup (Ami-Edi). Traditionally, extracting the pulp from palm fruits is a labor-intensive process; Big Mamma brings you that same "village-fresh" quality in a convenient, ready-to-use format that saves you hours of preparation.
Our Banga paste is thick, silky, and naturally packed with the oils and nutrients that give traditional soups their signature glossy finish and deep, earthy sweetness.

Essential Culinary Applications
-
Authentic Banga Soup (Ami-Edi): The gold standard use. Combine with Banga spices (Beletiete, Aididan, Tyiko), fresh catfish, and starch for the ultimate Delta feast.
-
Ofe Akwu (Igbo Style): Use as the base for the southeastern version of palm fruit soup, typically served with white rice and scented with Uzhiza and Ube.
-
Banga Rice: Instead of a soup, use the extract to cook your rice directly, resulting in a rich, orange-hued "concoction" rice with a deep savory flavor.
-
Black Soup (Ofe Owerri Variation): Use a small amount of the extract to add body and a silky mouthfeel to traditional vegetable-based soups.
-
Seafood Palm Chowder: A modern fusion take—use the Banga base as a creamy, savory broth for a mixed seafood boil.

Chef's Tip: For the best results, add your Big Mamma Banga to your pot and add a little warm water or meat stock first. Stir it until smooth before adding your spices and proteins. This ensures the extract incorporates perfectly and allows the palm oil to rise to the top as it simmers, giving you that iconic, mouth-watering Banga look!
