Pap Powder

Pap, also known as Ogi or Akamu, is a smooth, fermented cereal pudding made from maize (corn), sorghum, or millet. It’s a beloved, traditional Nigerian breakfast known for its creamy texture and mild, slightly tangy taste. It’s typically served hot and paired with beans, moi moi, akara, fried plantain, or bread — or enjoyed with sugar, milk, and honey for a sweeter touch. Pap is not only comforting but also nutritious — it’s light on the stomach, making it a go-to meal for babies, elderly people, and nursing mothers. It’s packed with carbs for energy, and the fermentation supports gut health. Whether you like it thick or runny, pap remains a warm, soothing favorite across many Nigerian homes.
