Scent Leaves (Efinrin)

Scent Leaves (Efinrin)

Scent Leaves (Efinrin) are an aromatic West African herb from the basil family (Ocimum gratissimum), widely used as a seasoning in Nigerian cooking—especially in pepper soup, stews, and other richly spiced dishes. The leaves add a bold, clove-like fragrance that makes meals taste more traditional and “restaurant-style” at home.

Use them fresh by rinsing, chopping, and adding near the end of cooking to keep the aroma bright. For best freshness, keep the leaves refrigerated and dry (avoid extra moisture), or freeze in small portions for quick cooking later—Scent Leaves are one of those simple ingredients that instantly upgrades soups, sauces, and rice.
