It is naturally sweeter than milk sef.
It'll make a very good milk alternative for vegetarians.

You mean in Nigeria?

Kobojunkie:

Yes, but people mostly only take it as a refreshing drink, rather than a milk alternative.

Almond milk is one of many alternatives here too and available in the dairy Isle.

That is the normal kunu made with millet or something

The other type is kunu Aya

Aya means tiger nuts

So there are two types of kunnu
The one u drank (very common) and kunu Aya

I swear, I'd choose it over tasteless skimmed milk.

Nigeria has so much prospects, but are just innovatively lazy.
We have so much raw materials we're yet to explore to their full potential.
Only of recent did they start producing and selling date sugar sef.
Nigeria can produce butter and cheese from cow's milk, but I doubt we are. Only margarine.
Dairy products are left unexplored.(where do I even begin?)
They only say and never do.

1. Tua! Skimmed milk ke? That experiment failed for me.

2. I don't understand what the hold up is. Milk, cream, butter, cheese etc., ought to be staples in every home by now.

Is the milk widely available in the North??

I don't think so. Just on a small scale level and sold as a refreshing drink.
Why I respect them is 'cause they grow most of the foods we eat in Nigeria.

Nigerians are hardly innovative, but they're good at stealing and perfecting other's ideas.

There was one groundnut product that was made in Ghana, it was so simple, I wondered why no one ever thought of that idea. (It's like groundnut chinchin)
The product was brought to Nigeria and people loved it so much and were buying it.

Prior to then, Nigerians only just basically roasted and poorly packed their groundnuts in empty old bottles or nylons, but when they saw that that product was selling out fast, they started producing it in Nigeria and selling some at a cheaper price to compete with the one from Ghana.

This reminds me of what happened with yogurt and ice cream in Nigeria. I am not sure I will say we made it better though.

Permit me to get into this conversation.... Kunu Aya is very much common in the north. It's the south that don't really have it but it's so common in the north.

Small scale? Yes but every household has access to it., If its business wants to be done, it will have to be targeted to the south. I drank it many times and I must tell you that it's very sweet abd refreshing when cold. What it needs to compete well in the south is packaging

Every household has access as in it is available and affordable or you mean the recipe is widely known?

By widely available, I mean available at an affordable price in every store and market.

It's sold like the normal kunu in the north, the same person usually makes and sell it. You will like it cold. It has distinct taste

I saw it for the first time in Abuja even though I have known the usual kunu for years down south
