To those of you that post sumptuous meals always... Thank you ooo
I have not cooked in months and I really do not envy you guys because I dont enjoy cooking but I appreciate all the lovely meals.
Hopefully when I find a submissive husband who loves cooking like Preston, i will learn the art.

Mariangeles:

How then can you control what goes in your meal ?
When foods these days are loaded with sugar, msg...
I don't envy you at all
I can't imagine not being in control of what goes into what i eat
To be healthy these days, you have to take charge of knowing what goes in your food .

I eat home cooked meals...

Yam peel is what gives it the colour .

I miss this

If inky food can be transferred via internet

A concoction of leftover things in the refrigerator that I didn’t want to waste.

Beef stew, steamed vegetables, fried plantains. I just added rice noodles and it was done in 10 mins:
And It ended up tasting good. Very spicy too.

You mean yam bark? Jeez God forbid

Menance:

Lol. E be like u wan cause commotion for this thread

Acidosis:


So why is poundo yam white?

They have two variant .
One that is dried with the yam peel , the other only the inside .

Haven't you heard ? Concoction always tastes good .

I doubt that.... Plantain flour amala is darker than yam flour amala.
I think the the colour occurs due to enzymatic browning that occurs during drying.

What are you talking about ? That's fiber .

Acidosis:


So why is poundo yam white?

Poundo yam is white because of the sodium metabisulphite added to it to slowdown/stop browning.

Presence of tannins, so it changes color over time

I've seen them do it .
It's the yam peel .
After drying, they grind to flour, then sieve out the sand .

Exactly, it's the process and that darkness there is actually an indication of iron which is produced during the fermentation and drying of yam. Same as unripe plantain. It doesn't have to be with peels.
My grouse with amala( IMO ni o ) is that without the requisite delicious soup, it is tasteless. I also hate the washing up of utensils after cooking it. Give me pounded yam any day, it's a winner. I guess I am simply an idoma girl at heart.

Right
