Ogiri is a flavoring produced by fermenting oil seeds such as egusi, sesame, and castor. It is traditionally made by boiling the seeds before wrapping them in banana leaves and leaving them to ferment. It is similar to iru.

Selection and storage

Ogiri keeps well when dried, wrapped up,[1] and stored in a dry place.
