Nigerian Okpa flour (Bambara nut flour), sold in a 1 kg pack. The key ingredient for making Okpa — the beloved South-East Nigerian steamed pudding and popular street food of Enugu.
Okpa flour is milled from dried Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea), a legume native to West Africa. It is the defining ingredient of Okpa di oku, a beloved street food and breakfast staple from Enugu State in South-East Nigeria. To prepare it, mix the flour with palm oil, pepper, seasoning, and water, then steam in banana leaves or foil cups until firm. The result is a dense, satisfying yellow pudding with a rich, earthy flavour. Each 1 kg pack makes multiple generous servings. A treasured taste of home for the Nigerian diaspora.
