Oven Dried African Snail (Igbin)

Oven Dried Snail is a prized delicacy that brings a chewy, meaty texture found in only the most special Nigerian dishes.

What it is: This product is giant African land snail (known locally as "igbin") that has been cleaned and slowly oven-dried to concentrate its flavour and extend its shelf life, without the mess of preparing fresh snail at home.

Why customers love it: Customers love its rich, meaty bite and the way it soaks up pepper sauce and soup seasonings, making it a standout addition rather than a background ingredient.

How to use it: Rehydrate by soaking in warm water, then clean thoroughly and add to pepper sauce, native soups, or fry with onions and spices as a standalone delicacy.

A taste of home: Snail is considered a delicacy across much of Nigeria, often reserved for special occasions and enjoyed for both its taste and its reputed nutritional value. Oven-drying makes this treat easy to store and ship anywhere in the world.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Once rehydrated and cooked, refrigerate leftovers and use within a few days.
