Speaking with LEADERSHIP Weekend , Dr Innocent Ihennacho Ogbonna, described Pap as a lactic acid bacteria fermented cereal-based food that assist many mothers to feed the infants.

“Also known as Ogi, it starts with soaking the corn inside water which is changed every day with fresh water until it is fermented after three days and then the fermented corn is grounded and converted to tick paste.

“But before soaking, it is required to wash the grains thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities. Then, soak in clean water for up to three days to allow fermentation.  Drain the water and grind the grains into a smooth paste after. You can use a traditional grinding machine or a modern blender. Then, you can use a fine sieve or cheesecloth to separate the smooth paste or mould for sales.”

 According to Ogbonna, who is also a lecturer and a farmer, he alternates the grains,depending on the one that is available. 

“For the purpose of exporting, the grounded corn or millet is thoroughly dried and packed in very neat and fine attractive package in order to make it acceptable outside the country,” he pointed out.
