Global Popularity and Regional Context

English Name: Calabash Nutmeg / African Nutmeg
Local African Name: Ehuru (Igbo – Nigeria), Ariwo (Yoruba – Nigeria), Guinea Pepper or Gabon Nutmeg
Botanical Name: Monodora myristica

Ehuru Nutmeg is widely used across West and Central Africa, particularly in:

• Nigeria: Used in local dishes like pepper soup, nkwobi, ofe nsala, and ogbono soup.

• Ghana: Incorporated into fish stews and light soups.

• Cameroon & Gabon: Known as Gabon nutmeg, it is used in meat broths and traditional sauces.
