About Edikaikang soup

Edikaikang Soup is a highly nutritious and flavorful dish originating from the Efik and Ibibio tribes in southeastern Nigeria. This traditional delicacy is a rich blend of vegetables, typically fluted pumpkin leaves (Ugu) and waterleaf, combined with a variety of proteins such as fresh fish, meat, or assorted seafood. Palm oil adds a distinct flavor and vibrant color, while spices and seasonings enhance its taste. Packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants from the leafy greens, Edikaikang supports immune health and digestion. Its protein content aids muscle repair and maintenance. However, the soup’s calorie count can increase with excess palm oil and fatty meat cuts, so moderation is key. Edikaikang is a wholesome addition to any diet, showcasing the richness of Nigerian cuisine.
