Healthy staples

Plantain flour, yam flour and beans flour — the swallows and porridges that anchor every meal.

Amala, Eba or Abacha

Oil

Rich, red palm oil — the base note behind most West African stews and soups.

Snacks

Crunchy, sweet bites for between meals or the school run.

Kulikuli Alata (Spicy Peanut Cake)

Right now this is your one snack product — a crunchy, spicy, protein-rich peanut cake sold in mini and maxi packs. A short video showing it fresh out of the fryer (or straight from the pack) would fit perfectly here.

The seasoning shelf behind every recipe on this page
