Abacha, also known as shredded cassava or African salad base, is a beloved delicacy among the Igbo people of Nigeria. Carefully processed from high-quality cassava tubers, Abacha is peeled, cooked, shredded, and sun-dried to perfection, preserving both its earthy flavour and chewy texture.
This dry shredded cassava is a cultural cornerstone, often enjoyed at ceremonies, festive gatherings, and Sunday lunches. Its versatility means it can be paired with ingredients like palm oil, garden egg, ugba (oil bean), pepper, and onions to create an unforgettable taste of home.
The moment you soak this Abacha in warm water, the aroma of its sun-dried origins evokes a deep connection to tradition. Slightly tangy and delightfully chewy, it’s the perfect base for a refreshing, satisfying meal.
Whether you’re a Nigerian craving familiar flavours or a South African curious about West African cuisine, Abacha offers a nutritious and memorable food experience.
How to Use:
-
Soak the shredded cassava in warm water for 10–15 minutes until soft.
-
Drain and rinse.
-
Mix with ingredients like palm oil, pepper, ugba, and crayfish for a full African salad.
