Benefits Of Baobab Fruit - Miyan Kuka

Baobab is the latest craze that in trending now in the UK, called the super fruit that can do wonders for the human body. I decided to find out what the fuss was all about,  this led me to research the topic. 

I found that baobab is also called Miyan Kuka, mostly eaten in the northern parts of Nigeria with staples like Tuwo Shinkafa (rice meal), Tuwo Masara (corn / maize meal) or Tuwo Dawa (Sorghum meal). I knew about those dishes courtesy of my dad who lived up north for a while and introduced those dishes to me, boy,  those where the days!!! I prepared mine with Gbegiri (bean paste stew) and Ewedu (Cochorus).

I also noticed in the african market, such foodstuff  from northern nigeria like sorghum millet and baobab are very very scarce, shoppers have to alternate their products, if you know what I mean. I once encouraged a woman in the market to sell tuwo dawa, but she told me that no one brought the product off her, she had to throw most of it away. 

where are the Hausa living in London???????????????
