Dried Pomo

Dried Ponmo (Cowhide): Dried ponmo, or cowhide, is a popular ingredient in Nigerian cuisine, known for its chewy texture and ability to absorb flavors from stews and soups. After being thoroughly cleaned, the cowhide is sun-dried or smoked, giving it a distinct, slightly earthy flavor. It is commonly used in traditional dishes like pepper soup, egusi, or vegetable stews, and adds a delightful bite to any meal. Dried ponmo is also valued for its long shelf life, making it a convenient pantry staple for adding texture and richness to a variety of Nigerian dishes
