Ogbono seeds

Ogbono seeds are used for Igbo cuisines. They are ground in a mill and used as thickener for soups including Ogbono and Okro soup. Ogbono soup when ground and mixed with hot water, gives a slimy texture similar to Okro soup. Merchants in Nigerian markets reuse liquid milk tins (157ML) to measure food grains including Ogbono, for sale.
