Pap / Ogi (Fermented Corn Porridge)

Pap (also called ogi or akamu) is a smooth, fermented corn porridge that is a staple postpartum food in Nigeria and across West Africa. Gentle on digestion and often enriched with milk, sugar, or groundnut, it's a comforting and safe food for breastfeeding mothers. Its mild flavor makes it easy to eat in the early days of recovery.

📈Traditionally consumed to support milk production across West African cultures.
