About Eforiro

Eforiro is a flavorful and nutrient-rich vegetable soup originating from Yoruba cuisine in Nigeria. It is traditionally made with a mix of fresh spinach or amaranth leaves, palm oil, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and assorted proteins such as beef, fish, or offal. Often seasoned with spices like crayfish and bouillon, Eforiro combines vibrant flavors with a hearty composition. Nutritionally, it is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, iron, and dietary fiber, thanks to its leafy greens and vegetables. Proteins in the dish contribute essential amino acids, while palm oil offers energy but should be consumed in moderation due to its saturated fat content. Eforiro is recognized for its wholesomeness, especially when prepared with lean proteins and less oil, making it a balanced addition to a healthy diet. It's deeply rooted in Nigerian culinary traditions and often enjoyed with starchy sides like pounded yam or rice.
