Alternative To Wheat Flour by yeancahwunmi(f): 8:54pm On Sep 14, 2016
Due to the high cost of wheat in the market, we had to source for an alternative and guess what it is...

GUINEA CORN FLOUR

Yes, the same guinea corn used for the brown akamu/ogi.

All you need do is to pick the dirts and stone, blow it to remove the dust and then grind into powder form.

Prepare it the way you prepare your semo or amala.

Thanks.

Please do and I'm sure you'll like it. You can also mix it with semo flour.

A very unsuitable alternative if you ask me. Can you use this to make cake, chin chin, bread, meat pie, buns, etc?

HELL NO!

A better alternative is cassava flour. It has a pure white color, same as wheat four.

Well at least, it is a good healthy alternative to garri as per swallow, Baking will probably need something more refined..

Guinea corn is dawa dawa right? I use plantain flour, freshly made..

I didn't mention baking, it's for swallow. Talking about 'better alternative', please cassava is not better than guinea corn. For info about its nutritional value, Google is your friend.

I've tried the plantain flour mixed with wheat flour, it's delicious.

Could you please help with the processes involved in making the plantain flour myself?

Sorry about the late reply, I don't actually make the flour myself, but I know the process involves buying green plantain, cutting into chunks, sun drying it and then milled into flour.. These you can buy already made from markets..

Personally, I prefer to buy fresh, boil and mix with a food processor, I prefer the texture to dry powdered one..
