• Vigna subterranea | Bambara nut • Като източник на храна и доход, растението се счита за третата най-важна бобова култура в африканските страни, след фъстъците и черноокия боб. Културата се отглежда, продава и обработва главно от жени и следователно е особено ценна за жените, които разчитат на себе си за препитание. Шушулките на растението узряват под земята, подобно на фъстъците. Те могат да се консумират пресни или сварени след изсушаване и могат да се смилат пресни или сухи за приготвяне на пудинги. В Нигерия, особено в Енугу, изсушените бамбарски зърна се смилат на фин прах, след което се смесват с палмово масло, вода, изсипват се в обвивки от бананови листа, преди да се сварят в пудинг, за да се направи okpa, обичайна храна за закуска, известна с вкуса си и с това че е завършено ястие поради перфектния си баланс между протеини, мазнини и въглехидрати. . . . . . . . . . . #bambaragroundnut #bambaranut #okpa #okpanigeria #nigeriaplant #bambaraafricanwindinspiration #bambaranut #scientificillustration #africanplants #nigerianfood
