Elubo (Yam Flour)

Elubo (Yam Flour)

Princess Moremi Ajasoro, an amazon endowed with bravery, did not just rely on her physical strength; she knew the way to a man’s heart. Exactly the trick she used to regain the freedom of her people from the captivity of the Igbo people. She collapsed the defence of captor’s army with her excellent culinary skills. Moremi melted the heart of the Igbo ruler till she got all the secrets of his power after she served the great warrior a meal of sizzling Amala, carefully ushered into the world with gbegiri (beans soup) and ewedu, peculiar to the Oyos (a sub-ethnic tribe of the Yoruba People).

Amala is a popular African delicacy traditionally enjoyed with variety of stews. It is prepared from ground dried yam, popularly known as Elubo (Yam flour).
Elubo is made from yam: a root crop of the family DIOSCOREACEAE. It is rich in potassium, carbohydrate, protein and vitamins A, B-6, C, Magnesium, Iron and Calcium.
