ENGLISH TRANSLATION

 The wild-mango seed soup is a kind of slimy soup just like okra, but for someone who does not know how to prepare it, it would not be slimy.  It is easy and quick to prepare because once you have the ground powder, it saves the time spent on slicing the okra.  It can be prepared on a minimal budget.

The Yoruba adage that said “Stay off cooking a non-slimy wild-mango seed powder, and prepare for okra” can be used to advise someone doing a non-progressive or non-profitable job to try another venture in order not lose out completely.  Check the ingredients and the preparation of the wild-mango seed powder on this page.
