Dried Scent Leaf

Dried Scent Leaf (known as Effirin in Nigeria or Nchanwu in Igbo) is a prized African herb celebrated for its aromatic flavor and medicinal properties. Sun-dried to preserve its bold, earthy essence, this versatile leaf adds depth to soups, stews, and sauces while offering natural health benefits.

A cornerstone of West African cuisine, Dried Scent Leaf elevates dishes like egusi soup, ofe akwu, and jollof rice with its unique peppery-citrus notes. Beyond the kitchen, it’s brewed into herbal teas or used in traditional remedies to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and essential oils, it’s a holistic staple for wellness-focused households.

Unlike fresh leaves, Dried Scent Leaf has a longer shelf life and concentrated flavor, making it ideal for pantry storage. Simply crumble the dried leaves into simmering dishes or steep in hot water for a revitalizing tea. Its versatility extends to marinades, spice blends, and even DIY skincare poultices.

Sourced from sustainably grown plants and free of additives, our Dried Scent Leaf retains its natural potency and cultural authenticity. Whether you’re reconnecting with African culinary traditions or exploring global superfoods, this herb bridges flavor and function.
