What is Kaun (Akanwu)?
Kaun, also known as Akanwu, Kanwa, or potash, is a naturally occurring alkaline mineral used as a traditional cooking ingredient across Nigeria and West Africa. It acts as a natural food enhancer and tenderiser, playing a key role in many beloved dishes.
Key uses in cooking:
Softens and speeds up the cooking of beans, black-eyed peas, and cowpeas
Improves the texture and colour of soups — particularly egusi, banga (ofe akwu), and oha soup
Used in the preparation of nkwobi and isi ewu for that signature thick sauce
Helps tenderise tough meats and tripe
Used to make palm oil soap and local cosmetic preparations
