Burned cow feet and legs (bokoto): frozen beef feet for wholesale in the EU and UK

Cow feet are the feet and lower leg sections of the cow. "Burned" refers to the process: the feet are first de-haired with a de-hairing machine and then burned. That gives the characteristic light-brown colour and a mild smoky flavour, exactly how customers know it from home.

Our range includes related products, all Afri-mama brand and delivered frozen:

• Cow feet whole: burned, in 20 kg cartons
• Cow legs (cut): burned, in pieces, meaty with plenty of gelatine
• Cow legs bones: ideal for stock and soup
• Cow skin from legs: burned leg skin, related to ponmo and kanda

The same product goes by many names depending on the community. The most searched terms:

English: cow feet, cow foot, cow leg, beef feet, burned cow feet, singed cow feet, cow heel.
Nigerian (Yoruba): bokoto.
Caribbean and Jamaican: cow foot, cow foot soup.
Dutch: koeienpoten, runderpoten, gebrande koeienpoten.
French (FR, BE, Congolese cooking): pieds de bœuf.
German: Rinderfüße.

It always means the same thing: burned, frozen beef feet for soups and stews.

Cow feet are rich in collagen and gelatine. Cooked slowly, they give a full, sticky texture to the dish and a deep flavour to the stock. That is why they are loved across several kitchens:

• Nigerian and Ghanaian pepper soup and stews
• Caribbean and Jamaican cow foot soup
• Congolese dishes with pieds de bœuf
• Surinamese soups and stews

For your store that means one SKU serving several communities. Burned cow feet are not a seasonal item, they are a staple for returning customers.
