I saw these on a Nigerian food blogger's page, and it caught my attention. I had never seen them before. She called them goruba, so I got curious, and had to go check it out on Google. Have you ever seen/eaten these? If you have, what do you call them in your local dialect? Picture credit: Google 18 Likes 2 Shares |

I ate this thing as a kid in Kaduna.... You eat the flesh but can't eat the big seed in it ..... this fleshy part covers the big round seed in it .... I was filled with nostalgia when I saw it in Keffi this year, had to rush it just to think of old times Omo, your teeth must be strong to bite some of the goruba because it's strong.... It's mostly common in the Northern part of the country 116 Likes 8 Shares |

I have never tasted it, and had concluded it was a wild fruit. But futher research proved me otherwise, and I just realized it's "gingerbread or doum fruit" which is quite popular.

Reminds me of a joke about two friends who are lorry drivers. Both had set out on a journey. Along their way, the friend who left earlier was crossed by armed robbers who asked him what he was carrying? ![]() ![]() He then bursted into laughter. Lol 😂😂😂😂. The robbers asked him, "why are you laughing". He responded "my friend is on his way with a lorry loaded with Goruba". ![]() 108 Likes 8 Shares |

Nigeria is blessed with wonderful resources, walahi! Safe for clueless and directionless leaders, we would have been shoulder high among the comity of nations. Bad leadership is a plaque in this country.

Yes, in Igala it's called Ojé uchu, meaning Pounded yam, because of the similarities between the fruit and pounded yam in texture and in colour. This is the season Through back friday 2 Likes |
