Scent Leaf (African Basil / Nchanwu / Efirin)

Fresh Scent Leaf (African Basil / Nchanwu / Efirin) Fresh Scent Leaf (Ocimum gratissimum), also known as African Basil, is a highly aromatic herb widely used in Nigerian and West African cooking. It is especially valued for its distinctive herbal, peppery, slightly clove-like aroma that adds depth and authentic flavor to traditional dishes. Nigerian Spices Our Scent Leaf is grown in Texas and harvested fresh at YOE Ranch. The leaves are picked and packed fresh for shipping, giving you the aroma and flavor that dried herbs simply cannot match. Scent Leaf is traditionally used in Pepper Soup, meat and fish dishes, stews, sauces, beans, and other Nigerian dishes. For the best aroma, rinse the leaves, slice or tear them, and add them toward the end of cooking. Nigerian Spices
