The challenge of finding time in the kitchen to enjoy the traditional food one was raised on can be daunting, and I wanted to change that. Click the button below to learn more about its history.

How it Happened

We are a biracial family — Nigerian/American. Every time I hosted people from other nationalities to a Nigerian dinner there was always a request for more. I figured making these products shelf stable and available for purchase would save others time and make Nigerian cuisine available anytime to them. In addition, each purchase helps fund our missions to the nations.
