Ugba also called ukpaka is a popular food delicacy in Nigeria
especially among Ibo ethnic group. It is rich in protein and is obtained by a
solid state fermentation of the seed of African oil bean tree (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth). It is essential food item from various traditional ceremonies
where it is mixed with slices of boiled stock fish (ugba and okpoloko). The
natural fermentation of the seed which at present is still done at the
house-hold level, renders the production nutritious, palatable and non-toxic
(Enujiugha, 2002).
