UBE (African Pear)

The season for relish in south-eastern Nigeria is best described as “ube and corn” season. It has produced in our minds a mental image of a god-given period of the year that is fertile and fruitful.

The Burseraceae family of fruit trees includes the African-native African pear. It goes by a number of regional names, such as safou (Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Angola), plum (Equatorial Guinea and Gabon), atanga (Gabon), ube (African pear), elumi (African plum), nsafu (bush butter tree), and butterfruit. In Nigeria, the Igbo people refer to it as Ube.

In Nigerian culinary traditions, ube has long been revered as a representation of abundance and festivity. This tradition is continued by Ube, which captures the spirit of regional cuisine and culture.

The delicious fruits known as Ube are grown in the abundant orchards of Nigeria, where the soil and environment are ideal. We collaborate closely with nearby farmers to guarantee the best flavor and quality.
