Achi (African Nut/Brachystegia eurycoma) is a traditional West African seed commonly used in soups and stews, especially in Nigerian cuisine. When ground, it acts as a natural thickener, giving dishes a rich, creamy texture and a subtle nutty flavor.
 
Popular in dishes like Ofe Achi and other hearty soups, achi is prized for its ability to enhance body and depth without overpowering other ingredients. It's a pantry essential for anyone cooking authentic African meals.
 
How to Use:
Grind achi into a fine powder and add to soups toward the end of cooking to thicken and enrich the broth.
