Good afternoon ma....can i mix corn with it

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

Of course you can.

[@sundayogbetu3574]

Can you replace oat flour with sorghum flour?

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

@@sundayogbetu3574 definitely yes! I have a video on sorghum fufu . I used the red sorghum but you can use the white as well. They all work fine . Here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/goeVnWinfrZjaNEsi=LAgCzrk_57txe2oY

[@kavumbarbara291]

Was that hot water you poured last before putting g on fire

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

Anyone will do. Hot or straight from the tap. Remember it will still boil because it’s still on heat, this will enable it cook through.

[@jennyokeke1201]

Please can i eat it everyday,. Can it help in reduce weight

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

Yes Jenny, you can eat it everyday and it can help you loose weight but you have to be mindful of your portion size. I will also advice that you can skip adding on the oats flour, and use millet flour all through if you are looking to shed some weight.

[@oluwafunmilayoadegbenle7941]

@@maureennwankwohealthyoptions thank you. You mean oatmeal makes one add weight?

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

When you eat a lot of it , it actually causes you to put on weight. That doesn’t deduct from the fact that it’s very healthy and nutritious!

[@360integration]

Weight loss doesn’t come solely from food you eat but how much you eat, when you eat, what snacks in between meals, how much exercise you do, rest and water intake

[@osujishirley1085]

Thank you ma,I v been processing my millet swallow ,but thus particular one I made tastes sugary!!why??

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

Hi Shirley, I think probably you didn’t give it enough time to cook. After stirring, you should allow it some time to cook through under low heat about 4 - 7 mins. Depending on the quantity you are making. Keep it covered so that the steam circulates.

[@osujishirley1085]

I did it again this afternoon, it's tastes so sugary,I don't know where or what it's wrong.....please can you throw more light

[@talesbyugom]

Which type of millet did you use, the red one

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

I used pearl millet. The grey colored one.

[@nelsonoboho5012]

[@తాతగారిఇంట్లోచదివినకథలు]

Can I eat it while breastfeeding? Can I feed my 8months baby with it? Is it easy to digest? Are there any precautions to take?

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

Absolutely, you can eat it while breastfeeding. If your baby has started taking solid foods, then he/she can also it . Remember though to make very tiny morsels for easy ingestion for the baby. Millet has a lot of health benefits for mother and child.

[@Ambimags.]

Thank you!!!

It’s a pleasure!

[@oluwatoyinotun8712]

Do I need to add oatmeal

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

Hi Toyin, no you don’t. It still turns out nice even without oatmeal. Oatmeal only gives it a little bit of stretch.

[@ijeomaanele6853]

Do you just grind the millett to get the flour?

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

Yes Ijeoma. You just grind the millet to get the flour. I do grind my own millet. You can also send to the millers to get that done also.

[@ElizabethEnow-s1u]

Not only Millet surghun is the best too

[@OgoNwadi]

What is the igbo name for Millet

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

The Igbos call it millet. Millet is grown widely in the Northern part of Nigeria, and not so much in the eastern part. We borrow the English word millet.

[@OgoNwadi]

@@maureennwankwohealthyoptions ok thanks

[@obiajunwaugochikingsley1437]

Is millet fufu the best fufu considering it's numerous health benefits?

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

In my humble opinion, I will say yes. Millet contains a lot of nutrients. It’s rich in minerals and trace elements very useful to the body.

[@obiajunwaugochikingsley1437]

@@maureennwankwohealthyoptions thanks dear

[@chiomaanny2388]

Please ma,I will really like to try ds swallow but is it fattening?

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

No it is not fattening. But please eat in moderation with soups like Okro and vegetable soup if watching your weight. More of this kinds of soup which are mainly vegetables and a small amount of this fufu will help with weight loss. Most importantly avoid any meals at night. If you can manage to have your last meal between 4pm - 5pm it will help a lot with your weight.

[@rakeshnag4365]

name of millet please?

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

Pearl millet

[@kavumbarbara291]

Why add oat flour again

[@maureennwankwohealthyoptions]

It’s completely optional, you can leave it out if you prefer. I add it because it gives a better texture; It makes the fufu a bit more elastic. An added bonus is that oats flour is very rich in nutrients as well.

[@caramelcocoa234]
