History, social and cultural relevance
Koobi is one of those multipurpose ingredients you need to have in your kitchen. It’s primarily used as a food enhancing flavour in cooking local sauces and soups. Growing up, most children have been asked by their mothers to make the journey in their respective areas to buy koobi. Koobi has been engrained in Ghanaian cooking tradition and has served as a good substitute for salt and spices in most local dishes over the years.
