Did you know that protein in Moin-Moin gives the brain special nutrients and therefore boosts motivation for the work week?
Let us know all the various ways you like to make, eat your Moin-Moin, how you like it served, when and where you like it

Moin-Moin is made from beans which are very nutrient-rich. They are a fabulous source of vegetarian protein and fibre, two nutrients that help you stay full and satisfied. The protein and fibre in beans also temper the rise in blood sugar that occurs after a meal, which can help stabilize mood. The fibre in beans also helps keep you regular (every ½ cup serving adds another 7 g of fibre to you daily total). Beans are low in fat and a good source of magnesium and potassium, nutrients that work together to lower blood pressure and keep your heart and blood vessels healthy.

What is Moin-Moin?
Moin-Moin or MoiMoi is a bean pudding made from a mixture of washed and peeled beans, onions and freshly ground peppers (usually a combination of bell peppers and chilli). It is a protein-rich food that is a staple in Nigeria. It originated from West Africa.

Moin-Moin usually comes in a slanted pyramid shape or a cylindrical shape, owing to the mould it is poured into prior to cooking. The pyramid shape comes from the traditional broad "ewe eran" (Thaumatococcus daniellii) or banana leaves fashioned into a cone in one's palm, then the seasoned and garnished liquid is poured into the leaves, which is then folded.
In addition to their value as food wrappers for cooking, banana leaves contain large amounts of polyphenols such as epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, also found in green tea. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants found in many plant-based foods.

Try to bake the Nigerian Moin-Moin in the oven, you'll get these cute cup-sized Moin-Moin that kids will love for school food/snack but make sure to call it bean "CAKE" lol. They are also the perfect size for when you have guests. See the link below;
