About Efo riro

Efo Riro is a rich and flavorful spinach stew that originates from Nigerian cuisine, particularly among the Yoruba people. This vibrant dish features a hearty combination of vegetables, including spinach or amaranth leaves, tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions, often cooked with palm oil for depth of flavor. Protein sources like fish, meat, or crayfish are commonly added, along with aromatics like garlic and seasoning cubes for an irresistible taste. Efo Riro is packed with health benefits thanks to its high content of leafy greens, which provide essential vitamins like A, C, and K, as well as iron and dietary fiber. However, the palm oil used in preparation is calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, which may need consideration for those managing heart health or weight. Efo Riro pairs beautifully with rice, yams, or pounded yam, making it a nutritious yet indulgent staple of Nigerian cuisine.
