Ukwa is my native name for breadfruit so this cuisine comes from that wonderful tree and it's seeds to be precise. As people from rainforest belt, our personal names and foods are mainly from trees. For example, my native name is Orji, a name acclaimed for iroko tree. A famous tree that is very flamboyant, strong and powerful so are other people names. Our foods are made from such trees too. Ukwa is one of them and we love them.
