FOODAGE II

 Hello, welcome back to the discovery of the secret of fufu lifespan compared to other solid food from the previous post on FOODAGE I. Well have you been panting to find out the WHY!!! Boom the secret is here. Just find out the uniqueness of fufu in which the English call it "FUFUO" or "FOOFOO" or "FOUFOU" as it may imply, the igbo's call it "AKPU" and the likes. Yes, FUFU has been proven to be a solid food with high capacity to be stored in a fridge and a tendency to stay fresh for two to three days or even a week at a room temperature; also when pounded and converted into wraps without air moisture interference it stays preserved. When you keep yam flour "AMALA" in a fridge it likely to turn to water when brought out, what about pounded yam hmmm our "IYAN" can you put it in a fridge? I guess it will just turn back to yam😆😆😆 my imagination never seems to end maybe you can find out yourself. According to many research made by the traditional west African ingredients and dishes      " FUFU" has an immense health benefits as it contains low cholesterol, rich in fiber, pottasium, vitamin C, resistant starch and many more.

Health benefits of eating fufu when made in a good condition helps to improve the digestive system, reducing blood pressure and inflammation, control sugar level, feeds the bacteria in your gut etc. Not withstanding as good as it may look as the saying goes   " too much of everything is bad" and it is advisable not to eat "FUFU" at late night from my experience. The preparation of it can be diversified as most people especially the igbo's pound with mortar and pestle, the yoruba's prepare it by just  cooking it and turning it just like our semovita, while the English just say we want it as soon as possible by producing a machine that can prepare our "FUFU" is it not amazing. Now the cat is out of the bag now carry go your fufu with okro soup made fresh be like motor wey dem put for high speed for your throat. I love my "FUFU". Still on the matter for food sit down make we yarn the gbedu oghono  carry fufu run away egusi begin dey vex na who go settle this matter. I remain my humble self @ a.k.a Misz T

 I am Tolu young, eloquent and buoyant, but usually have a self doubt about myself which is a major problem I face every day. Having low self confidence in yourself brings about a low budget outcome to our life, the word 'I CAN'T' is just like a disease that spreads like virus all around. The truth is that so many stop working on themselves and try to build another man hmmm...how possible when we watch our self image devastated and going down into the pit to be flushed or even perched by wagons without lifting it back into our arms of making a logistic reality of what we are, bringing out that potential gift in us and sticking to the Golden rules that says; believe in yourself, build your self esteem and improve your capability. Try it and see how it works. Don't encourage laziness toodles.

 Have you ever wondered why some food decay even when properly preserved, Sometimes ago I was eating FUFU and I felt an impose of the 'WHY' coming to my mind, I sat back and began to ponder about this fact. FUFU is a popular food eaten by people if not loved by everyone but if you try it with ogbono or okro soup with dry fish, sliced ponmo and meat you will want to give it another try, but the fact is why does FUFU after been made (I mean cooked) last longer(at most one week) compared to our AMALA or even POUNDED YAM( doesn't even last more than a day). Okay we all know that FUFU is made from cassava sometimes mixed with cocoyam or plantain( I think dried), AMALA is a product of yam after being dried hmmm... Having confirmed that when we cook this two solid food preservatives are not been added like we do to our cakes or cookies, does it now mean that cassava has more capacity to last longer than yam? We are going to find out on the next write-up just sit back, enjoy and ro
