Turn a humble pot of soybeans into Nigeria's most beloved seasoning, and maybe your next business.

For generations, iru has been the secret behind unforgettable efo riro, ewedu, and gbegiri. But real locust beans are getting harder to find, and quality control at the market is a gamble. What if you could make that same deep, savory flavor at home, using an ingredient available in every market, year round, at a fraction of the cost?

The Soy Iru Handbook teaches you exactly how, from your very first batch to a properly registered small business.

Written in clear, step by step language with no fermentation experience required, this book walks you through:

    • The real science behind fermentation, explained simply, so you understand exactly why each step matters
    • A complete, foolproof process for turning raw soybeans into rich, savory soy iru at home
    • Two dehulling methods, boiling and roasting, so you can choose what fits your kitchen
    • How to spot a healthy fermenting batch versus one that has gone wrong, with clear safety guidance throughout
    • Proper storage methods, fresh, frozen, and dried, so nothing goes to waste
    • Classic recipes, including efo riro, ewedu, gbegiri, and pepper soup, that put your soy iru to work
    • A complete costing and pricing framework, so you know exactly what to charge from day one
    • Practical guidance on packaging, branding, and where to actually sell your product
    • A clear breakdown of CAC and NAFDAC registration, so you can grow from kitchen hobby to legitimate business

    Whether you simply want a healthier, more affordable seasoning for your own kitchen, or you are dreaming of building a small food business that carries your name to markets across Nigeria, this book gives you the exact roadmap, backed by real research and written with genuine care for both your cooking and your safety.

    No fluff. No guesswork. Just a clear, tested path from raw soybeans to a seasoning, and a business, you can be proud of.
