If you grew up in Nigeria, or around Nigerians, chances are you've seen a small bottle of Jekonmo. It's one of the best-known traditional herbal mixtures in the country, and for many people in the diaspora it's a familiar taste of home. Here's a plain guide to what it is, how people enjoy it, and where to buy it in the US.
What is Jekonmo?
Jekonmo is a traditional herbal mixture made in Nigeria from roots and herbs in the West African herbal tradition. It comes in 100ml bottles, it's dark in color, and it's non-alcoholic. It's a traditional beverage, not a medicine.
For the exact ingredients in your bottle, check the label. Formulas and batches can vary.
Where does the name come from?
"Jekonmo" is Yoruba for "let them know". It's a bold, confident name, and that confidence is a big part of its reputation in Nigeria. People recognize the bottle and the name instantly.
What does it taste like?
Strong and bitter, in the style of traditional Nigerian herbal drinks. If you like bitter flavors, you'll feel right at home. Many people find it smoother when it's chilled.
How people enjoy Jekonmo
- Straight from the bottle: shake well and drink it from the 100ml bottle. Most of our customers finish a whole bottle at a time.
- Chilled: keep a few bottles in the refrigerator for a cooler, smoother taste.
- Stocked at home: people who drink it regularly usually buy the pack of 6 or the box of 24.
