Waakye Leaves (Dried Sorghum Leaves)

Waakye Leaves (Dried Sorghum Leaves) are the secret ingredient behind the iconic colour and subtle earthy flavour of Ghana's beloved waakye dish. These dried leaves from the sorghum plant are added during cooking to naturally infuse rice and beans with their distinctive deep reddish-brown hue — no artificial colouring needed!

Beyond waakye, these versatile leaves can be used to add a natural colour and mild flavour to other grain-based dishes. A staple in Ghanaian cooking, waakye leaves are a must-have in any West African kitchen.

Simply add a few leaves to your pot while cooking rice and beans, remove before serving, and enjoy the authentic taste and colour of traditional Ghanaian waakye every time.
