Uziza seeds are a popular spice in West Africa, particularly in Nigeria, where they are widely used in traditional cuisine. These small, dark-brown seeds are harvested from the uziza tree, which is native to tropical Africa.

Uziza seeds have a unique flavor profile that is both pungent and slightly bitter, with hints of camphor and pepper. They are often used to add depth and complexity to soups, stews, and sauces, and can also be used to flavor meats, fish, and vegetables.
