Enerem Corn Pap also called Ogi or Akamu is a fermented cereal pudding from Nigeria, typically made from maize, sorghum, or millet. It has a distinctive sour taste that makes people crave it. It is processed from dry white or yellow corn. After processing it we get the raw pap which is then prepared with hot water before serving as a meal.

Pap is a nutritious meal which is a good source of carbohydrate, B vitamins (pantothenic acid – B5, niacin – B3, riboflavin and thiamine – B1), folic acid, vitamins A and C, potassium, chromium, selenium, zinc, phosphorous, magnesium and many others.

Pap assists nursing mothers to increase the flow of their breast milk, which is why it is a highly recommended meal for nursing mothers. It can be enjoyed alone or eaten with other foods like bean cake (akara), bean pudding (moi-moi) and beans porridge.
