Hello Homesteaders, today I will be teaching you how you can comfortably turn a Bambara nut into food as I just did because I know that by the time you will follow some steps I will be providing here that you can make it a reality for yourself, family, and even for business consumption. Before I will be proceeding, with the steps, I will like you to understand that the Bambara nut is recognized in Africa as a kind of food when cooked because it contains a lot of health benefits like boosting the immune system, reducing the risks of diabetes, helping in bone strength, helps in easy food digestion, and many more.
Note: today, I will be teaching you how to make Bambara nut into Moi Moi food but I will be pointing out the complete procedures you will be needing.
Ingredients used have to be considered:
A red oil that was made from palm trees.
Onion.
Pepper.
Crayfish.
Salt.
Maggi.
The material used also has to be considered:
Knife for piling.
Water for washing.
Pot for cooking.
Firewood for cooking.
We are now going to be considering some of the steps used in converting the Bambara nut into food known as Moi Moi:
The first thing you have to do is to go to your farm if you have any to harvest a Bambara nut or you can easily buy from the market.
Once you got your Bambara nut to the house, you need to wash them with clean water two times in order to wash away dirt and other particles.
After washing the Bambara nut, it’s time to take your small knife and start piling off the Bambara shell in order to get the main seed which I could regard as Bambara beans too.
By the time you have completed piling your Bambara nutshell, there’s another shell which could be informed of black or red color covering the main seed that you need to pile off again but in order to achieve it easily, you have to soak them inside a bucket of water. Then start using your hand to pile off the second shell to get the main seed in white color.
By the time you must have gotten to the Bambara nut white main seed, you will need to wash them again with water using a small container.
Now, you can now add pepper, and onion, to the Bambara nut.
Grinding process:
We are now going to grind the Bambara nut we just added some ingredients using a grinding engine.
Tell the grinder to grind the Bambara nut up to 4 times to make the nut soft properly without any solid on left.
After you must have grind the Bambara nut, take it to your house and then stir it properly by the time you must have added a cup of water to a bowl. use a turning food stick to stir.
After stirring the Bambara nut, add a little of red oil, salt, and many other ingredients, and then use small white nylon to tie them.
We are now going to cook the grinded Bambara nut into Moi Moi food:
Add some water into a big pot and then place it on cooking firewood or cooking gas.
Once the water is boiled properly, put your tied Moi Moi food into the boiling cooking pot and then close with the pot cover.
Allow the Moi Moi to boil for about 35 to 40 minutes and your Bambara Moi Moi will be ready.
