interresting fact about Ogbono(Irvingia gabonensis)

Hello steemians, how are you doing? for a while now I haven’t being talking on food and its benefit which is very bad. I will be teaching us how to prepare one of our popular soup Ogbono.
>Ogbono [Irvingia gabonensis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvingia_gabonensis), it is also know as African mango, bush mango, wild mango or dika (is a type of tree which bears fruits that looks like mango). This tree can also be known as the ogbono and it is highly nutrious in fat and protein. This fruit can be use to make jelly, juice, wine and jams.
