Home Taste Cornmeal Coarse

Coarse cornmeal is the backbone of many West African staple dishes. In Ghana, it's used to make kenkey and banku, while in Nigeria, it forms the base of tuwo masara (corn swallow) — a Northern Nigerian favorite. The coarse grind gives dishes a satisfying texture and rustic character that fine-milled corn cannot replicate. Across the African continent, corn has been a dietary cornerstone since it arrived from the Americas centuries ago.
