New Age Ehuru (African nutmeng) 90g
New Age Ehuru (African Nutmeg) – 90g of Pure Aromatic Essence
Unlock the deep, earthy secrets of traditional West African cuisine with New Age Ehuru. Also known as African Nutmeg (Monodora myristica), this 90g pack of premium seeds is a vital spice for anyone looking to recreate authentic ethnic flavors at home. Unlike common nutmeg, Ehuru offers a more complex, smoky, and slightly pungent aroma that serves as the backbone for many iconic indigenous soups and stews.
Each seed is carefully selected and dried to ensure that the essential oils—responsible for both the incredible scent and the medicinal benefits—are perfectly preserved.

How to Prepare & Use
To get the most out of your New Age Ehuru, follow these traditional steps:
-
Roasting (Optional but Recommended): Place the seeds in a dry frying pan or over an open flame for 1–2 minutes until the shell becomes brittle and the aroma is released.
-
De-shelling: Once cooled, crack the outer shell and remove the dark, aromatic kernel inside.
-
Grinding: Grind the kernel into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a high-powered spice grinder.
-
Cooking: Add the powder to your pot early in the cooking process (for soups) or mix it into marinades for grilled meats and fish.
