Premium Dried Cow Skin (Ponmo/Kpomo) – 1 lb

Our dried cow skin is sourced directly from village farmers and producers, helping us bring you authentic African ingredients selected for quality, traditional flavor, and texture. The cow skin is dried for convenient storage and shipping, then rehydrated before cooking to restore its signature chewy, satisfying texture.

Perfect for Egusi Soup, Ogbono Soup, Okra Soup, Vegetable Soup, Efo Riro, Pepper Soup, stews, and many other West African favorites.

Serve it with hot fufu, pounded yam, eba, or your favorite swallow for a delicious taste of home.

Authentic African food. Quality ingredients. Delivered to your door.

How to Rehydrate Dried Ponmo

Rehydrating your dried cow skin is simple.

1. Rinse the dried ponmo thoroughly under clean running water.
2. Place it in a pot and cover completely with water.
3. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the pieces soften and expand. Add more water as necessary.
4. Once softened, drain and rinse thoroughly again.
5. Cut into your preferred serving size, if needed.
6. Add the rehydrated ponmo to your soup or stew and continue cooking until it reaches your preferred tenderness.

Tip: Because traditionally dried cow skin can vary in thickness, soaking and cooking times may vary from piece to piece. For tougher pieces, soak in clean water before boiling and simply cook longer until tender.
