AXONE

About:

• Axone — also spelled akhuni — is a fermented soya bean of Nagaland, known for its distinctive flavour and smell.
  
  
• As much an ingredient as it is a condiment, axone is used to make pickles and chutneys, or curries of pork, fish, chicken, beef etc.
  
  
• Axone is prepared and eaten across Nagaland but is particularly popular among the Sumi (also Sema) tribe.
  
  
• There are two ways of making axone: either dry or like a paste.
