Ogbono, the seed of a canopy tree found across Africa's rainforests, is both a staple ingredient in regional cooking and a structural piece of forest ecosystems, providing food and shelter for numerous species.

The piece is part of a four-part series produced with The Rainforester and Mongabay examining non-timber forest products, arguing that sustainable harvesting of items like ogbono can help keep rainforests intact rather than logged.
