Description
Yam Flour, popularly known as Elubo in West Africa, is a traditional flour made from dried and pulverized yam slices. It is the primary ingredient used to make Amala Dudu (Brown Amala), a deeply flavorful and culturally significant “swallow” enjoyed primarily by the Yoruba people of Nigeria. Known for its distinct dark color and earthy aroma, it is a favorite for those seeking a lighter, more medicinal alternative to starchier meals.
