Nigerian beans flour, sold as a carton of 20 × 450 g packs. Finely milled from dried black-eyed peas, it is an essential ingredient in Nigerian cooking.
Beans Flour is made from peeled and milled black-eyed peas (oloyin or drum beans) and is used throughout Nigerian cuisine for a variety of dishes. It is the base ingredient for akara (fried bean cakes), moi-moi (steamed bean pudding), and can be used to thicken bean porridge or added to soups. Each carton provides 20 packs of 450 g — 9 kg in total. The pre-milled flour saves the time of soaking, peeling, and blending beans at home, making it especially practical in the diaspora where fresh black-eyed peas may not always be readily available.
