At Iru L’obe, our dried iru is carefully selected, properly packaged, and ready to become the ingredient that takes your cooking to the next level.

Whether you’re cooking for your family, stocking your kitchen, or sending some to a loved one, we’ve got you covered.

Love the taste of iru but not the seeds?

This blended locust beans seasoning gives you all the flavour without the texture.

It blends smoothly into soups and stews, carries the taste properly, and saves you the stress of sorting or chewing seeds.

If you’ve been avoiding iru because of how it feels, this is your sign.

Price:4,000 (150g)

Did you know iru is more than just that ingredient that gives your soup its delicious, distinctive taste? 👀💚

Let’s talk about a few things you may not know about this traditional Nigerian ingredient!

1. Iru is more versatile than many people think.

From efo riro, egusi and ogbono to okra soup, native rice , ewedu and gbegiri, there are so many traditional meals you can prepare with iru.

2. It’s a fermented food

That distinctive smell and taste we know and love come from fermentation. Fermented foods can contain beneficial bacteria that support gut health and help with digestion.

3. Iru contains potassium.

Potassium is an important mineral that helps your body function properly. It also plays a role in regulating blood pressure by helping blood vessels relax.

4. Let’s talk about eye health 👀

Vitamin A is essential for healthy eyes and good vision.

At Iru L’obe, we’re proud to make this traditional ingredient available for your everyday cooking.

Now, tell me: Which of these did you already know? Let’s talk in the comments

If 150g of our dried iru isn’t in your Ember gift box, you might be missing something.

Because a good gift doesn’t always have to be something fancy.

Sometimes, it’s something practical.
Something familiar.
Something they will actually use.

Our 150g dried iru is a simple addition to food hampers, family gift boxes, customer appreciation packages and Ember gifts.

It adds something different to the usual assortment especially for the person who knows that a good pot of soup is not complete without iru. 😂

So if you’re putting together your Ember gifts this year, don’t forget the iru.

150g packs are available for gifting and bulk orders.
