    GUINEA CORNGUINEA CORN FOR CONSUMPTION

    One of the most common ways with which people consume guinea corn is to use it as pap.

    It can also be made into flour for baking, making porridge, or even cooking delicious breakfast pancakes.

    Here is a guide on how to prepare guinea corn into pap:

    1. Wash the grains separately and meticulously. 
    2. Transfer all the grains into a bowl.
    3. Pour enough water to immerse the grain completely then cover the bowl and allow the grains to ferment for 2-3days.

    NOTE: Remember to rinse and change the water every day.

    4. On the second or third day, drain the water out from your grains.

    5. The next thing is to blend them with your ginger, cloves, cinnamon, or any other flavoring you choose. (Use the local grinding mill if you do not have a powerful blender at home) The result after blending should be a very, very smooth paste.

    6. Now is the time to use your muslin/chiffon cloth or scarf. Tie it tightly around your big bowl and then put the bowl on a flat, solid surface.

    7. Scoop a small quantity of the corn paste on the chiffon cloth.

    8. Using your hands and a little amount of water, sieve the paste through the chiffon cloth and into the bowl. What you are left with is a murky colloidal solution in your bowl and the chaff sediment left behind on the cloth.

    9. Keep sieving until all that is left is completely dry chaff.

    11. Then leave it for about 3 hours to allow the mixture to settle. Once settled, the thick pap would be at the bottom with clear water on top.

    12. Gently decant the water at the top and stir your pap.

    13. After stirring well, pour the pap into the clean cotton (salt) bag and wring the top of the bag, squeezing tightly. This would help remove any excess water. To drain it further, tie the bag tightly with a rope and place it on a flat surface or in a sink.

    14. Place a heavy object on it and leave it overnight to completely drain all the water out.

    15.  After all the water has completely drained, untie the bag, and just like that, your pap is ready! All that is left is to preserve it in your freezer. You can preserve it in little containers or bowls.
