Oha Leaves

Farm-Fresh Oha Leaves — The Heart of Igbo Cuisine

Experience the vibrant, earthy taste of Mama JP's Fresh Oha Leaves, harvested from the Pterocarpus mildbraedii tree native to the lush rainforests of southeastern Nigeria. Oha leaves are the prized, irreplaceable ingredient in one of Igbo cuisine's most celebrated dishes — Oha Soup — and nothing compares to cooking with them fresh.

Tender, fragrant, and full of natural goodness, our fresh Oha leaves bring an authenticity to your pot that dried alternatives simply cannot match. One handful transforms a good soup into a truly memorable meal.

Why You'll Love It

• Unbeatable Freshness — Vibrant, tender leaves with the full natural aroma and flavour of freshly harvested Oha
• Authentic Igbo Taste — The defining ingredient of Oha soup, with a distinctive mild, slightly bitter, earthy character
• Nutritious — Naturally rich in vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, and antioxidants
• Versatile — Excellent in Ofe Akwu (palm nut soup) and other traditional soups calling for leafy greens
• No Additives — 100% natural, freshly sourced with no preservatives

How to Use

Wash thoroughly before use. Shred or tear the leaves and add to your soup in the final 5 minutes of cooking to preserve their colour, texture, and flavour. Fresh Oha leaves wilt quickly and release their best taste when added at the end.

Perfect For

Oha soup (Ofe Oji), Ofe Akwu, and any traditional Nigerian soup that calls for fresh leafy greens.

Fresh from the source. True to tradition. That's Mama JP.
