For People saying that they have not eaten ukwa (Breadfruit) for a very long time. This is the season of Ukwa(Breadfruit)This is the best time u will get Ukwa a bit cheaper bc once dry season comes. It becomes only for the bourgeiois as the price will be Inflated. That is business my mum does at the village and we will deliver to you anywhere and any quantity of your Choice. Both Dried and Fresh are available at any quantity.

It's rich in fibre and it's nutritious. Good for diabetics. When we first visited the village in those days, we could see the breadfruit being soaked and washed near the local iyi (stream)

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

Yes, I heard it has a low GI making is good for diabetics. Processing ukwa is such a tedious task: meticulously remove the seeds from the fruit, leave it till the slime weakens, wash it off, precook, peel, pick the peels! Chai ooo! That's why I don't even complain about the high cost. It is worth it.

Chai, but having stayed in Enugu for few years,i saw a different method of ukwa. Ukwa prepared with palm oil,fried mackerel and crayfish I enjoyed it but it kind of altered the natural taste of the ukwa. Then married to my husband i saw another dimension of ukwa 😂😂😂 they prepare theirs like abacha,my husband prefers it and I'm now glued to it😂😂😂😂

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

No palm oil for real? Yes, fresh ukwa contains natural clear oil but I'm wondering what the meal will look like without palm oil. Especially with ugba which is a dark ingredient in there. That popped fresh corn is what put me off eating ukwa and corn. I can even manage sweet corn. Fried mackerel? Crayfish? hehehehe Ukwa does not need any ingredient with a strong flavour because it will mask the natural delicious flavour of ukwa.

I heard baking soda works for softening foods like Ukwa and Beans, either by pre-soaking or adding a small teaspoon to cooking. It is good to experiment first so not to waste the precious Ukwa. Strained ashes "Ngu" from firewood, works. I don't know if Nkanwu is same as Potash. Flo?

Joan you can try cooking it like that if using a pressure cooker. It may still be done enough to be enjoyable. For me I want that extra melting moistness. Have never used baking soda hence the doubts I expressed about it in the video. Potash upsets most people's stomach but mostly when it's too much for the quantity of meal you are cooking. Only a small quantity is necessary, as you saw, I only added the very dilute solution of the potash.

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

Agus, yes akanwu is edible potash which is what I used. Ngu is not very accessible even for those that live in Nigeria. Some people do not know what it is as they've never heard of it 😂 before watching some of my videos. :)

Yes, they don't have pressure cookers. They use food tenderizers: potash (akanwu) or ngu (palm fruit stalk ash). A pressure cooker further reduces the cooking time and for me, it does not really soften it to my liking that's why I must also add a food tenderizer.

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

mmh, when trying, do so with a small quantity. The only ukwa I trust to soften without a tenderizer is when you get all the seeds from one tree and perfectly precooked before peeling. But all the ukwa sold in the market are a mixture of ukwa from different trees hence one must use some sort of tenderizer when cooking it else na cooking without end be that. 😂

I was nodding and smiling when I saw the sweet corn😂 but frowned the moment I saw onions....onions is a no no for me. I use only ngu, salt, pepper and palm oil, then add sweet corn. Any protein I use like fish will be placed by the side not inside. In my village, they use ogiri and ugba. Some people add crayfish and maggi. This Ukwa looks so colourful. My daughter's favourite meal

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

hehehe All Igbotic people will frown at that onion but it's yummy! Especially because I did not add bitter leaves and ogiri to this. Do you have ngu in obodo oyibo? The problem with ngu is accessibility, even those in Nigeria don't have as much access to it as potash. Crayfish and Maggi kwa? I'm frowning at them. 😂 Seasoning cubes I can understand but crayfish?

My favorite meal, any style.😋😋. I could see how okpo can break out, over this expensive and delicious meal. I've cooked the dried one with Nkanwu(hard clay), and it was done in just over an hour without soaking it. The Ukwa water is also delicious, like Igboland ones. Nutmeg and onugbu add special flavor to it. Do you know that the Pacific and Caribbean islanders, pluck and roast young breadfruits, and don't allow them to seed inside, and they say it is also delicious that way.

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

Ọkpọ break out ooo! 😂🤣😂 For real! Nutmeg??? Heiii This is the first time I'm hearing that. It sounds off for ukwa but you know what they say, I will not knock it at all. Or do you mean calabash nutmeg that is ehu/ehuru? Because yes, our people add ehu/ehuru and ogiri to ukwa but ordinary nutmeg? Strange. Is Pacific Island's breadfruit merely our young breadfruit or a completely different fruit? The outside looks different. The design on the bark of theirs is different. Ours does not have any design, more like very dense hair/rug.

@8AUGS Жыл бұрын

@@FloChinyere Yesoo! I avoided Okpo by eating my share, away from my siblings.😂😂Ordinary Nutmeg works. The roasted Breadfruits could be different species. But, I'm beginning to wonder why our goats love those young fallen Breadfruits so much? That would bring another twist, if someone in Igboland could experiment? I wouldn't want any to be plucked prematurely, because I love Ukwa the ways we prepare it now.

See enjoyment! 😋😋😋 Nne I don't understand when overrated and ukwa are used in one sentence. I always offer anyone that says that to come let me prepare ukwa for him/her. Not because I am the best ukwa cook but because ukwa does not even need a lot of effort or skill for it to be tasty so I don't get why they don't like it. I always imagine them eating the very traditional thick concrete one cooked with dried corn. You know those over dried corn that grandmas use to cook ukwa? That one they cooked till it cracked up? That kind of ukwa combo will put anyone off eating ukwa for life. 😂🤣 Someone told me in the comments that she soaks dry ukwa for 2 days and it completely reverts to fresh making the water taste better. I will try that and see how it goes because I also love mmiri ukwa just that the one from this dry one does not taste fresh to me. Will try soaking it for longer to see how it goes.

Yes, your breadfruit is quite different from ours. Though the whole fruit looks similar, ours is round and green. But for ours, we open it and take out the tiny seeds which have a dark skin which we then take off to get the seeds I showed in the video. Watch this video to see the seeds still with the dark peel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9mZiMl9ntPNcYE.html and the rest of the process of peeling, sorting and drying. Nigerian Breadfruit is seasonal, next time I go to the village when it's in season, I will try to record the full process from the green fruit to this seed that we eat.

I saw your video in Oyinbo Market pls do you buy Ukwa there? Where do you think I could buy a good one that will cook very well?

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

When ukwa behaves like that it means it's not freshly peeled. They probably peeled them the previous day, did not finish selling them, when they get home, they soak it in water till the next day so it does not turn green. We call it asarasa ukwa (wash-wash breadfruit). For fresh ukwa, try Aguda market if you live close. When buying, make sure you see them picking out the peels right there at their stall, this is an indication that it's freshly peeled. I have also heard that some pour the peels back into overnight ukwa and be picking so you think it's fresh. But the sure banker way to check is that freshly peeled ukwa has a unique fresh rustic? smell to it. If you are cooking the ukwa with a normal pot, don't add salt at the beginning because salt is a food hardener. I don't trust Oyingbo market for certain Igbo food items. Those Oyingbo market sellers that can't even wash bitter leaves the proper way? You will see them cutting bitter leaves with a knife and pouring hot water! 😂 Abomination! I get my dry ukwa from the East. My Mum has a special woman that handpicks, precooks, peels and dries them for me.

Generally, a pressure pot won't open until it is depressurised.

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

Please it's VERY dangerous, don't ever try that. It can cause serious injuries if not death. The pot in under VERY high pressure. Even this one I depressurized under the running water, I did it in a controlled manner, closing and opening the tap at intervals. If the cold water from the tap is left to run continuously, most of your food will pour out and go to waste when it depressurizes suddenly. Like I said in the video, the best practice is to leave it to depressurize on its own. I repeat, NEVER try to force your pressure pot open.

Oh wait, your Dad used the flesh of the fruit to make swallow? Wow! Are you talking about the Pacific Islands breadfruit? Because that's not the same as the breadfruit we have in Nigeria. The bark looks different and the formation inside is different from our breadfruit. For ours, after taking out the tiny seeds, we use what is left over as feed for farm animals eg goats. I don't think that part of this fruit will be enjoyed by humans, it's so fibrous and slimy. So I think the one he used is the Pacific Islands one. The seeds (the one I cooked) are high is carbs hence not good for keto. I don't know any low carb food or food in general for that matter that comes close to tasting like Nigerian breadfruit. It is so unique. Thank you my sister with the profile picture. 💃💃💃

Give me ukwa any day, anywhere and any how. Growing up, ukwa used to be food for the poor while the rich ones eat uncle ben’s rice. How times change😂

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

I can eat ukwa for breakfast, lunch and dinner, 24/7 without getting bored. Eheee? From my own experience, ukwa has always been seen as big man's food ooo both where I grew up and where I come from because it's always more expensive than your average staple. And you know it does not fill one up like that. And it does not rise like rice when cooked. Rather ukwa will even shrink in quantity after cooking. 😂🤣 That's the main reason corn is added to it to make up the quantity so that large families can at least have a taste of ukwa from time to time even if the corn to ukwa ratio is 10:1 😂. It's only rich families that would cook only ukwa without adding corn. Ahh! Back then, even those that had ukwa trees in the village would rather sell it (because they will make a good sum from it) and use to money to buy yam or fufu and other carb staples, for real ooo. Wow! Life is indeed about experiences.

Yummy 😋 what do you have against the spinach stalks 😂😂

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

😂😂😂 They are not palatable! After the spinach leaves have deflated from the heat, the stalks will still stand at attention there making them more pronounced. Meanwhile spinach already contains too much nutrients than our body can handle so it doesn't hurt to take out the stalks abeg. hehehehe

My 2nd favorite igbo meal , after Abacha na ukwa😋😋 . please what's the work of Bitter leaf in Ukwa.

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

Eheee? Abacha is high up there too! A combo of the bitter taste of fresh bitter leaves and the "sweetness" of fresh ukwa is a delicious fusion of flavours that I can't describe. Just a few bitter leaves (about 3 for this pot of ukwa) so the meal does not taste bitter. Yum!

Ahhh Ukwa Nri ndi ogaranya😃 nri ndi high table, the sharers will be like nkea bukwa nke ndi high table 😂😂 chaii one of the most nutritious meal, we don't cook our ukwa with potash we use ngu, ngu dose it way faster than potash, and it also add a great taste to the ukwa, we don't add onions and vegetables but we add corn 🌽 that's if it were in the season.. Mama Flo akpiri adogbolam here 🙈

@FloChinyere Жыл бұрын

Only for special members of the high table ooo. I don't know why I just don't like that ngu. 😂 Also potash is more accessible. Yes, that onion is a wild card and I know the very Igbotic people will shout! 😂🤣😂
