Description

Plantain Flour (Elubo-Ogede) is made from dried, ground plantains and used to prepare a version of Amala with a slightly sweet, mild flavor and lighter color than the traditional yam-flour version.

It’s a great option for those seeking a naturally sweeter swallow, and pairs well with soups like Ewedu, Gbegiri, Egusi, and Okra.

Plantain flour is also valued for being lower glycemic than some other swallow flours, making it a popular choice for health-conscious eaters.

Recipe tip: Whisk into boiling water gradually to avoid lumps, stirring until smooth and elastic.
