Udah seed, also known as African oil bean seed (Pentaclethra macrophylla), is a nutrient-rich food commonly consumed in West Africa. It is an excellent source of protein, making it valuable for muscle repair and overall body development. The seed contains essential amino acids, contributing to its role as a plant-based protein source.

Udah seed is also rich in healthy fats, particularly unsaturated fatty acids, which promote heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels. Additionally, it provides dietary fiber, which aids digestion and supports gut health. Its carbohydrate content supplies energy, while micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium strengthen bones, enhance red blood cell production, and regulate muscle and nerve function.

The seed is also a good source of antioxidants, such as phenolic compounds, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation. Udah seed is both nutritious and versatile, often fermented for traditional delicacies like ugba.
