These distinctive hazelnuts, with their oval shape, are derived from the tropical forest plant Afrostyrax lepidophyllus, belonging to the Huaceae family. After harvesting, they are dried, and their envelope is removed before use. In Cameroon, they serve not only as a condiment in various dishes but also in traditional medicine. Their powerful and pleasant aroma, slightly reminiscent of garlic, has earned them the nickname &#8220;garlic tree.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Origin and Uses<\/h3>\n<p>The Whole Country Onion comes from a tall, straight-stemmed tree found in the forests of Ghana, Cameroon, and Congo (Brazzaville). The tree, its leaves, and fruit emit a strong odor similar to onion or garlic. This plant is primarily located in the rainforests of Cameroon, Gabon, and Ghana. Its fruits or slices, as well as its bark (Olum), are integral to the preparation of traditional dishes such as \u201cYellow sauce,\u201d \u201cMbongo,\u201d \u201cNkui,\u201d yellow sauce, nkwem without salt, and pepper soup.<\/p>\n<h3>Health Benefits and Culinary Uses<\/h3>\n<p>The bark extract of Afrostyrax lepidophyllus has demonstrated pesticidal activity in studies, highlighting its potential beyond culinary applications. Its strong odor is believed to calm the stomach and prevent flatulence after consuming beans.<\/p>\n<h3>Preparation Tips<\/h3>\n<p>Before using the Whole Country Onion in your cooking, remove its thin film. It offers flavors from elsewhere, waiting to be discovered and integrated into your culinary repertoire.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Aromatic World<\/li>\n<li>Cooking at Varsis<\/li>\n<li>Alice Pegie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on Whole Country Onion and other unique ingredients, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/afritibi.com\/en\/produit\/whole-country-onion\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Afritibi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong>: 100% peeled slices<\/p>\n<p><strong>Format:<\/strong> 50G<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brand<\/strong>: Afritibi market<\/p>\n<p><strong>Country of origin<\/strong>: Cameroon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[689,692,693,694,690,695,696,697,698,699,700,691,356,355],"product_tag":[283,286,290],"class_list":{"0":"post-16026","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-african-foods-from-algeria","7":"product_cat-african-foods-from-burundi","8":"product_cat-african-foods-from-cameroon","9":"product_cat-african-foods-from-congo","10":"product_cat-african-foods-from-cote-divoire","11":"product_cat-african-foods-from-ghana","12":"product_cat-african-foods-from-mali","13":"product_cat-african-foods-from-morocco","14":"product_cat-african-foods-from-niger","15":"product_cat-african-foods-from-nigeria","16":"product_cat-african-foods-from-senegal","17":"product_cat-african-foods-from-tunisia","18":"product_cat-condiments-en","19":"product_cat-spices-condiments","20":"product_tag-seasoning","21":"product_tag-spice","22":"product_tag-spicy","23":"product_shipping_class-dry","25":"first","26":"instock","27":"shipping-taxable","28":"purchasable","29":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Whole country onion &#8211; Afritibi<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Whole Country onion is available at the online african grocery store in Canada, Afritibi.
