Im looking to launch a food company in Atlanta,GA and i want to include moi-moi in my line of healthy organic foods. Is moi-moi healthy? Is this a good idea? All constructive comments (negative and positive) are welcome. I am a Nigerian and i eat moi moi every week.
Thanks.

Moi-moi I guess is one of the healthies meals we have in Nigeria, but if you are starting a food outlet and want to introduce moi moi on you menu, pls and pls do not use beans flour for the moi moi, do it the natural way as in wash the beans and grind and use, this is because beans flour does not come out tasting like the real moi moi at all, and watch out that you donot use so much oil and donot kill over the ingredients, cos when all these are too much in moi moi, it just does settle well in the stomach.
Well this is just my opinion.
Cheers!

Thanks for the advice. I plan to use beans to make the moi moi and use all natural ingredients also. No preservatives or nothing of that nature. I dont plan on introducing this at any restaurant, i dont have a restaurant, i plan to make this and deliver to people at their house and offices.

If you're eatin' beans flour,then you obviously don't know what you're missing.
Moi-moi is truly nutritious no doubt.The appeal to your clients will depend on the method of preparation and addition of extras like fish or egg.

it's a great idea and your nigerian clients will welcome it. you can also spice it up and make it healthier by grinding garlics and ginger along with the beans

moi moi when well made is da bomb, there is nothing better!

to market something as organic, it has to be certified organic by the relevant board.

so find out if moinmoin falls within those parameters.

of course this doesnt mean you cant label moinmoin as organic food if you so wish.

Thanks. I am currently looking into the organic categorisation of moi-moi. To be certified organic, they have to contain all organic ingredients which is what i plan on using.
