Ofada rice is a locally grown version of the regular rice we eat. It is
unpolished and genetically unaltered. It comes swaddled in a giant leaf,
garnished with a locally made stew and sometimes with a dash of
plantain. As the leaf is opened, the rice releases a unique aroma that
Nigerians find so irresistible. Ofada rice isn’t all bran and no substance; it
is known to have health benefits that help with heart disease and
diabetes, so munch away.
