Description
Ground rounds from Cameroon – 50g and 100g
ground washers – also called Country Onion, Bobimbi or Oulum – come from the dried seeds of the Afrostyrax lepidophyllus, a tropical tree from Africa This rare spice offers a smoky, woody, slightly bitter taste, particularly appreciated in traditional Cameroonian and Central African cuisine.
The seeds are carefully dried then ground to obtain a fine, aromatic powder. Thanks to its ground form, this condiment is easily used in sauces, soups, marinades or simmered dishes. It infuses a deep, umami note, whether in a mbongotchobi, a ndolé or a vegetable sauce.
In addition, this spice is traditionally recognized for its digestive benefits thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. These virtues only reinforce its authentic and natural character.
Available in bags of 50g or 100g, this format allows for use precise and user-friendly. It is easily stored in an airtight container, protected from light and humidity. Amateur and professional cooks appreciate it for its powerful scent, effective even in small quantities.
Choosing ground slices means giving dishes a signature African flavor, sometimes smoky, sometimes slightly spicy, which enhances each bite. In cooking, they advantageously replace classic garlic or onion, offering an alternative richer in taste and tradition
Other names: country onion, bobimbi, oulum, Cameroon rounds, African smoked condiment.
