    I sincerely want to thank you.. Ever since I moved to Europe, you have been helpful to me. Now I tried the Akamu thing from the scratch, believe me it came out well. I really appreciate you Chi.

    I tried mine with the broken corn and it came out nice since I can't find Muslin bag I improvised using a NEW pillowcase.I can now enjoy homemade Akamu :) Thanks to Flo, you are the best!!!!

    Yes, we drink it with sugar and evaporated milk + Akara, Puff Puff, Fried Plantains, Fried Yams, Moi Moi etc etc. It goes well with lots of staple foods. Ahhh, we have "kunun" a Northern Nigerian drink (looks like soy milk) and it is different from this one but I see the similarity in the names. :)))

      Aw you are adorable Flo! yup that is what I do :) , ever since I found your channel , this is like watching my favourite TV :D , sometimes I put it on repeat too LOL,just to be sure I did it right and I'm thanking u for all this delicious healthy food! Exactly what I need, difference in European and Nigerean is big! what ? huge ! simply due the fact you put a lot of work in it , the food is REAL , it is handmade while it otherwise is a storebought meal that doesn't even contain anything nutritious! And once tasted it stays in ur mind , really! Had some experience tasting it yet never made these myself but guess what I'm having on the menu ;-) !! ow yes ! Totally!!

      Is there a way to make the corn sour, because mine is never sour.

  • @TemitopeOgundolie
    @TemitopeOgundolie 10 років тому +24

    Thumbs up for you my sister.
    While still in Nigeria, I remember my mum adds ginger to the corn when we soak it and then blend it together with the corn before sifting. Hmmm It's the best and I miss it. u should try that too.

    • @Westgirl277

    Madam Flo, your video is self explanatory, simple and easy to follow. You just demystified akamu for those of us who thought it was a difficult process. I have been carrying Akamu on flights over many years. My sister just decided to try Akamu in our kitchen using your directions. I am impressed. Well done. No more excess baggage filled with Akamu.

    Dry corn should be easy to come by in the US. If you don't have African Shops in your area search for "dry corn" on Amazon. They even have the yellow ones. :) I have the link to 2 videos on how to make Moi Moi in the description of this video: how to make it with foil and how to make it with leaves.

    Lovely video, very detailed, pls I want to ask,is there any difference between the off white or yellow corn, does one has more nutritional value than the other.

    • @octavius654321
      @octavius654321 3 роки тому

      In terms of nutritional value, the yellow corn has a higher β-carotene level ( β-carotene is converted to Vitamin A in the body and it is excellent for good eyesight and reduces the risk of some cancers) than the white corn. The β-carotene content is partly responsible for the colour of the corn and as additional information, hen fed with yellow corn (or β-carotene supplements) tend to produce eggs with a distinctly yellow yolk than those fed white corn (which is cheaper than yellow corn hence why some poultry farms use them)
