Your kale, or any greens for that matter, will experience a rebirth with this simple, yet flavorful dish. A take on the many versions of green vegetable soup eaten across the region, this dish features Seasoning Kewb, a mix of indigenous spices created to take back West African food culture being overtaken by processed and imported seasoning cubes full of ingredients we can't identify nor pronounce.
Note: You can use Ekaterra spices on anything, we just happen to prefer using them on plants.
