Monarch Spices Ghanaian Waakye Leaves Powder - Sorghum Leaf for Rice & Beans
Monarch Spices Ghanaian Waakye Leaves Powder is a traditional pantry ingredient for preparing waakye, the Ghanaian rice-and-beans dish known for its deep color and earthy flavor. Waakye is commonly cooked with dried sorghum or millet leaves; this ground powder gives home cooks an easier way to bring that same style into the pot without handling whole leaves. Use the powder while cooking rice and beans so the color and flavor can infuse through the dish. It is made for Ghanaian waakye, but it can also be used in small amounts anywhere a cook wants the familiar sorghum-leaf character associated with West African rice dishes, bean dishes, and stews. The flavor is subtle and earthy rather than hot or spicy. It supports the rice, beans, and seasonings around it, helping build the traditional waakye profile without changing the dish into a pepper seasoning or sauce base. Packaged in an 8 oz pantry size, this powder is useful for repeat cooking, family meals, and meal prep. Store sealed in a cool, dry place after opening.
