How To Prepare eko Agidi with Stew (with Video)

What U Ate

How To Make Agidi


Wash the corn and transfer into a cooking pot, add water to cover them and set on heat. Stir occasional and turn off the heat when it is about to boil.
Drain the water and take the corn to the grinding mill, There are lots of places to grind Agidi corn in Nigeria for a very little amount of money. You may not use a blender.
Grind the corn and rinse it.


Drape the chiffon cloth over a big bowl and tie it up. Scoop in some ground corn in handful portions and tart rubbing it on the surface while adding water. At some point you will feel just the chaff. Remove it and scoop in more ground corn.
At the point when your hand can feel the water in the bowl from the top of the chiffon cloth, stop adding water and just rinse the ground corn.

Once ground corn is mixed with enough water, the starch will escape into the bowl as you keep robbing on them while the chaff is left on the surface. Easy Right?

Remove the chiffon cloth once you are done and allow the starch in the bowl to sit for up to 3 hours.
After three hours, the starch should have settled at the bottom of the bowl and water on top. Decant – pour out the clear water and stir what is left with a wooden turner. It should not be as thick as dissolved pap or custard and it shouldn’t be too watery either.

It should be about 2 litters (2000ml) if you used 8 cups of corn. Pour into a pot, set on heat and start stirring with a wooden turner. The heat shouldn’t be too much, if it is forming solid crumbs, then the heat is too much. Reduce it a little.

Allow 1-3 hours for the agidi to cool and solidify. Serve with boiled beans and tomato stew. I love it that way. You can also serve with moi moi or akara.

How Nigerians and Ibgos Observe Food and Culture

What U Ate

Nigerian food culture differs from different group to another; I have always cited the issue of multiple ethnic groups in Nigeria as the reason for the large number of foods eaten in Nigeria.There are over two hundred and fifty different tribes in Nigeria so it is expected that each of these tribes would have different food culture, although there are always a little difference from one tribe to another.
This page is about Nigerian food customs and culture, you need to know a little about all of this if you are dating or married to a Nigerian.
In a Nigerian home the men are expected to provide money for all the foods eaten at home while it is the responsibility of the woman to purchase and prepare these foods for the family, the only exception is when the wife I gainfully employed.
Then she might employ the service of a house help.
About twenty five to thirty percent of Nigerian women are full house wife while a bulk of rest are engaged in petty trading or civil service, only about forty percent of Nigerian women are gainfully employed.

You also need to know that majority of the unemployed Nigerian women are graduate that are restricted from working by their husbands. Most Nigerian men don’t like stressing their wife, they are more comfortable when she running the home, making nice foods and taking care of the kids.
That is all there is to Nigerian foods culture, let’s talk about food customs in Nigeria. There are just few of them that are still being practiced till date.
Most of these customs are no longer been enforced in families today, thanks to modern civilization. Our fore-fathers had them etched in stones so that every new family would have to go through them and learn to live by them.
But that is no longer the case as modern civilization has washed away lot of the tradition and customs of most African countries.
The original purpose of the Nigerian food culture and customs was set by families to ensure and cultivate proper cooking and eating habits, and frankly I would say that it served this purpose while it lasted.
 Oha Soup
                                                                                  Oha Soup
And sometimes I do think that it wouldn’t hurt to set those customs in motion once again.
Below are some of the major food customs in Nigeria, I would try to make a summary of all the different food custom from all of the major tribes in Nigeria. Like I initially stated, some of them are no longer in existence.

Nigerian Food Customs

You must wash hands before eating – This is just as it sounds, washing your hands before eating would ensure that you do not transfer unwanted bacteria from the hands to the stomach.
Be cautious with meat and fish – this is only applicable when two people are eating together, the younger person is expected to avoid the meat and fishes until the elderly one decides to give him his portion
Women always cook the foods – the woman is solely responsible for the preparation of food in a Nigerian Kitchen, the man only comes in when he feels like helping out, otherwise he is expected to stay away from the kitchen.
Women Must Cover Their Hair before Cooking – I guess this is self explanatory, the reason a woman is expected to cover her hair while cooking i just so we don’t find hair strand while eating the food.
Avoid Talking While Eating – The reason for this is clearly to avoid any form of accident while swallowing, most Nigerian foods are made with lots of peppers so it is advisable to remain calm to avoid diverting foods to the wrong channel.
There are several other food customs and culture in Nigeria, like I stated initially some of them are no longer in existence.
There is however no law in Nigeria that enforces the food culture and customs, the rules only exists in the minds of men. Many people would agree that there is no need to enforce this food customs into law or even write it down since common sense would always remind you to obey them.

The Achievement of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) So Far

What U Ate

Statistics at FAO
FAO develops methods and standards for food and agriculture statistics, provides technical assistance services and disseminates data for global monitoring. Statistical activities at FAO include the development and implementation of methodologies and standards for data collection, validation, processing and analysis. FAO also plays a vital part in the global compilation, processing and dissemination of food and agriculture statistics, and provides essential statistical capacity development to member countries.
FAO has a decentralized statistical system and statistical activities cover the areas of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, land and water resources and use, climate, environment, population, gender, nutrition, poverty, rural development, education and health as well as many others.

FAO Statistical Programme of Work


The FAO Statistical Programme of Work is a collaborative effort that is overseen by the Chief Statistician and supported by the Inter-Departmental Working Group on Statistics. These two mechanisms ensure strengthened coordination and cooperation on statistical matters and guarantee the high quality of FAO data.

The Statistical Programme of Work provides a summary of all of the principal statistical activities at FAO, and a detailed description of all the individual statistical activities carried out by FAO Divisions active in the field of statistics. It presents the organization’s operational activities according to different statistical categories and domains.
It is an important tool for improving effective coordination, reducing duplication in data collection and methodological work, and for stimulating joint efforts among international organizations in many areas.

Where Are The Super Nutritious Superfoods Hiding???

What U Ate
The easiest and most straightforward way of giving yourself energy, preserving your body and losing weight is probably available at your neighborhood food store, or it might even be buried in your kitchen. Don't be alarmed, be excited.
Superfoods have long been the highlight of any discussion about health or healthy food. Many celebrity chef have dedicated cooking books to them.
superfood
Many health experts from around the world have been advocating for the incorporation of superfoods into our diets, and some say that merely adding a few of them to your daily menu is enough to provide your well-being with an instant boost.
What is there in superfoods that makes them so desirable?
  • High levels of essential nutritional elements (like protein, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids and more).
  • Very high doses of antioxidants.
  • They are easily absorbed and digested.
  • They are beneficial to every body system.
  • Beauty enhancing: for a glowing skin, shiny hair and sparkling eyes.
  • Improve body and soul balance.
Between Yams and Acai Berries
Some of these superfoods are rightly considered exotic, and are only available in health food stores. Among these, you can find acai berries (that come from the Amazon rain forests), goji berries (another rare fruit), Spirulina (a miracle working seaweed) and others. The good news is that most of the superfoods are far more accessible than we thought, and as a matter of fact, they are already available at our house. Despite the fact, that some of these healthy foods are underneath our noses, we do not consume them on a regular basis. That's simply outrageous in my book.
Among the superfoods, you can find at the nearest market or supermarket you can find: legumes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, blueberries, strawberries, quinoa, salmon, dark chocolate (with more than 70% cacao), and many green leaves – the greener they are, the healthier they are. For this reason, kale has become the object of such legendary tales, that have turned it into the unofficial king of superfoods. Spinach, mangold and Bok choy are high on this list as well.
Changing to a Healthier Diet, Easily
Apparently, turning to a superfood-rich diet is super simple, and super healthy: replacing processed foods or less healthy foods by superfoods, will not only grant our body important nutritional values, but will also provide energy and assistance to the different body systems. Some of them even boost the discharge of mood-improving hormones.
superfood
Know Your Superfood
Consuming superfoods as part of your daily menu not only necessitates a recognition in their importance, but also learning about the different kinds of superfoods, their values and the optimal ways to make them.
It is also recommended to test a variety of superfoods to see which one of them is having the best effect on you.
You can find many recipes throughout the web that concentrate on superfoods, and much more information on the nutritional values of specific superfoods you're interested in. The only thing left for you to do is get informed, find your favorite superfood recipe and start cooking!

Some 11 Weight Loss Friendly Foods Found on Planet Earth

WhatUAte

They say all calories are not equal.
Different foods go through different metabolic pathways in the body.
They can have vastly different effects on hunger, hormones and how many calories we burn.
Here are the 20 most weight loss friendly foods on earth, that are supported by science.

1. Whole Eggs

Once feared for being high in cholesterol, whole eggs have been making a comeback.
New studies show that they don't adversely affect blood cholesterol and don't cause heart attacks (1, 2).
What's more... they are among the best foods you can eat if you need to lose weight.
They're high in protein, healthy fats, and can make you feel full with a very low amount of calories.
One study of 30 overweight women showed that eating eggs for breakfast, instead of bagels, increased satiety and made them eat less for the next 36 hours (3).
Another 8 week study found that eggs for breakfast increased weight loss on a calorie restricted diet compared to bagels (4).
Eggs are also incredibly nutrient dense and can help you get all the nutrients you need on a calorie restricted diet. Almost all the nutrients are found in the yolks.

2. Leafy Green

Leafy greens include kale, spinach, collards, swiss chards and a few others.
They have several properties that make them perfect for a weight loss diet.
They are low in both calories and carbohydrates, but loaded with fiber.
Eating leafy greens is a great way to increase the volume of your meals, without increasing the calories. Numerous studies show that meals and diets with a low energy density make people eat fewer calories overall (5).
Leafy greens are also incredibly nutritious and very high in all sorts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This includes calcium, which has been shown to aid fat burning in some studies (6).

3. Salmon

Oily fish like salmon is incredibly healthy.
It is also very satisfying, keeping you full for many hours with relatively few calories.
Salmon is loaded with high quality protein, healthy fats and also contains all sorts of important nutrients.
Fish, and seafood in general, supplies a significant amount of iodine.
This nutrient is necessary for proper function of the thyroid, which is important to keep the metabolism running optimally (7).
Studies show that a huge number of people in the world aren't getting all the iodine they need (8).
Salmon is also loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to help reduce inflammation, which is known to play a major role in obesity and metabolic disease (9, 10).
Mackerel, trout, sardines, herring and other types of oily fish are also excellent.

4. Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussels sprouts.
Like other vegetables, they are high in fiber and tend to be incredibly fulfilling.
What's more... these types of veggies also tend to contain decent amounts of protein.
They're not as high in protein as animal foods or legumes, but they're high compared to most vegetables.
A combination of protein, fiber and low energy density makes cruciferous vegetables the perfect foods to include in your meals if you need to lose weight.
They are also highly nutritious, and contain cancer fighting substances (11).

5. Lean Beef and Chicken Breast


Meat has been unfairly demonized.
It has been blamed for all sorts of health problems, despite no good evidence to back it up.
Although processed meat is unhealthy, studies show that unprocessed red meat does NOT raise the risk of heart disease or diabetes (12, 13).
According to two big review studies, red meat has only a very weak correlation with cancer in men, and no correlation at all in women (14, 15).
The truth is... meat is a weight loss friendly food, because it's high in protein.
Protein is the most fulfilling nutrient, by far, and eating a high protein diet can make you burn up to 80 to 100 more calories per day (16, 17, 18).
Studies have shown that increasing your protein intake to 25-30% of calories can cut cravings by 60%, reduce desire for late-night snacking by half, and cause weight loss of almost a pound per week... just by adding protein to the diet (19, 20).
If you're on a low-carb diet, then feel free to eat fatty meats. But if you're on a moderate- to high carbohydrate diet, then choosing lean meats may be more appropriate.

6. Boiled Potatoes

White potatoes seem to have fallen out of favour for some reason.
However... they have several properties that make them a perfect food, both for weight loss and optimal health.
They contain an incredibly diverse range of nutrients, a little bit of almost everything we need.
There have even been accounts of people living on nothing but potatoes alone for extended periods of time.
They are particularly high in potassium, a nutrient that most people don't get enough of and plays an important role in blood pressure control.
On a scale called the Satiety Index, that measures how fulfilling different foods are, white, boiled potatoes scored the highest of all the foods tested (21).
What this means is that by eating white, boiled potatoes, you will naturally feel full and eat less of other foods instead.
If you boil the potatoes, then allow them to cool for a while, then they will form large amounts of resistant starch, a fiber-like substance that has been shown to have all sorts of health benefits... including weight loss (22).
Sweet potatoes, turnips and other root vegetables are also excellent.

7. Tuna

Tuna is another low-calorie, high protein food.
It is lean fish... so there isn't much fat in it.
Tuna is popular among bodybuilders and fitness models who are on a cut, because it's a great way to keep protein high, with total calories and fat low.
If you're trying to emphasize protein intake, then make sure to choose tuna canned in water, but not oil.

8. Beans and Legumes

Some beans and legumes can be beneficial for weight loss.
This includes lentils, black beans, kidney beans and some others.
These foods tend to be high in protein and fiber, which are two nutrients that have been shown to lead to satiety.
They also tend to contain some resistant starch.
The main problem is that a lot of people have problem tolerating legumes. For this reason, it is important to prepare them properly.

9. Soups

As mentioned above, meals and diets with a low energy density tend to make people eat fewer calories.
Most foods with a low energy density are those that contain lots of water, such as vegetables and fruits.
But you can also just add water to your food... by making a soup.
Some studies have shown that eating the exact same food, except made in a soup instead of as solid food, makes people feel more satiated and eat significantly fewer calories (23, 24).

10. Cottage Cheese

Dairy products tend to be high in protein.
One of the best ones is cottage cheese... calorie for calorie, it is mostly just protein with very little carbohydrate and fat.
Eating plenty of cottage cheese is a great way to boost your protein intake. It is also very satiating, making you feel full with a relatively low amount of calories.
Dairy products are also high in calcium, which has been shown to aid in the fat burning process (25).

11. Avocados

Avocados are a unique type of fruit.
Whereas most fruit is high in carbs, avocados are loaded with healthy fats.
They are particularly high in monounsaturated oleic acid, the same type of fat found in olive oil.
Despite being mostly fat, they also contain a lot of water, so they aren't as energy dense as you may think.
Avocados are perfect as additions to salad, because studies show that the fats in them can increase the nutrient uptake from the vegetables 2.6 to 15-fold (25).
They also contain many important nutrients, including fiber and potassium.
