Surplus Foods Achi Spice

Surplus Foods Achi Spice is made from the powdered seeds of Brachystegia eurycoma, a traditional thickener used in Eastern Nigerian soups. This spice adds a silky, mucilaginous texture and a subtle nutty, slightly sweet flavor to soups like Oha, Ugwu, Abacha, and Bitter Leaf. It is favored for its culinary impact and perceived health benefits—it’s rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, making it both a flavor and functional ingredient.

Achi spice blends smoothly into cooking and is often combined with other seasonings or ingredients to maintain consistency while boosting flavor without being overpowering.
