English Name For This Juicy Nuts by cecegorz(m): 11:48am On Nov 30, 2013 |
Somebody help me with the English name of this deliciously juicy nuts from the North. They usually come in two varieties; sun dried and freshly harvested. While the sun-dried version is sweeter, it can be hard on your jaws after a while.

uboma: ^^^ Tiger nuts. It used to be one of my favorite when I was a little boy.Oh really? Nice name Annie2gud: Hausa-groundnut.lol @ hausa groundnut. Anyway, Igbos do call it 'Aku-Hausa' - Hausa nuts I think someone should come up with a nice commercial packaging for it, i'll sure buy it as i prefer it to peanuts. I just don't like the way those guys sell it in wheel barrows. And on the nutritional level, i think it will also make a good non-animal dairy. The milky taste is so on point. |
