Àmàlà is a local indigenous Nigerian food, native to the Yoruba ethnic group in the western states of the country. It is made out of yam, cassava, or unripe plantain. For this meal we chose yam, which was peeled, sliced, cleaned, soaked in hot water, dried and then blended into a flour, which is called elubo.

The combination of amala, ewedu, gbegiri and assorted meat stew is called abula. This mouth watering dish will leave you salivating for more.

Had so much fun working with the team, go checkout some of their products.

Dacryodes edulis is also called Safou, Atanga, Ube, African Plum or Butter Fruit.
This fruit has been cultivated for thousands of years in Regions of central and western Africa.

This shiny waxy coating fruit can be lightly boiled or roasted and served as a side.

Cooked the Safou develops a buttery consistency and a slightly sour taste. The fragrance is similar to the scent of turpentine or citrus.

-The seed is NOT edible-
Rich in essential Aminoacides, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamins A & C makes Safou a Superfood!

Did you know? Across Igboland and among the Igbo's of Nigeria in the diaspora, the month of August, as it is now, is gladdened with the celebration of New Yam called iwa ji and iri ji ohuru.

We are getting rid of our old yam, to make room for the new yam coming next month. New Yam festival in Igboland of Nigeria or among the Igbo and their friends in Diaspora is always marked with pomp and pageantry. The breaking of the yam; and harvest is followed by thanksgiving. An offering is put forward and the people pray for renewed life as they eat the new yam.
