Our story

Tonton Jeb

A taste of Senegal in your everyday life

A pot of rice on the stove. Bissap poured for guests. The names you have always heard at home. Tonton Jeb brings Senegalese pantry staples and traditional care products together, so you can enjoy them wherever life takes you.

Our collection includes niébé, Senegalese rice, cassava flour and sesame seeds, alongside dried mango, tamarind, hibiscus and baobab. You will also find African fruit jams, juices and syrups, plus shea butter, baobab oil and siwak for everyday care. Whether you are looking for a familiar ingredient or discovering it for the first time, there is a place for you at our table.

Made and packed in Senegal

We work with growers and women’s cooperatives across Senegal. Grains from the Senegal River Valley and ingredients such as baobab and shea connect our collection to the people and places behind it. Our pouches, bottles and jars are filled and sealed in Senegal before they travel to customers abroad.

The names you know

Niébé means black-eyed peas. Bouye is baobab fruit. Bissap is hibiscus. These names belong to the way people shop, cook and share food in Senegal, and we keep them alongside their English descriptions. For some customers, they bring back a familiar meal. For others, they are the beginning of a new one.
