*Health Benefits Of Corn pap, commonly known as akamu, ogi or eko* Is a fermented cereal pudding from Nigeria, typically made from maize. Traditionally, the grain is soaked in water for up to three days before wet-milling and sieving to remove husks. The filtered cereal is then allowed to ferment for up to three days until sour. Subsequently, it is boiled into a pap or cooked to make a creamy pudding. Made from maize, akamu is a nutritious meal which is a good source of carbohydrate, B vitamins (pantothenic acid – B5, niacin – B3, riboflavin and thiamine – B1), folic acid, vitamins A and C, potassium, chromium, selenium, zinc, phosphorous, magnesium and many others. *Here are 6 health benefits of pap* *Reduces risk of blood pressure* Pap is great for people with high blood pressure because of its high potassium and zero sodium content.
