Dawadawa is the Hausa name for fermented food condiment made from African Locust bean. It is also known as “Iru” and “Ogirilgala” in Yorubaland and Igboland respectively. Soybean, a more readily available and nutritious raw material has been used for production of dawadawa. It is a protein rich substitute for the local dawadawa made from Locust bean.
