Had to take a walk down memory lane and I stumbled upon this unique Naija delicacy 👉 Ofada rice.

Ofada rice is a popular Nigerian rice variety, also called Unpolished rice as it is rice in it’s natural state and without genetic modification. It is very healthy and much more healthier than white rice and is identified as Brown rice. 👇👇

It is accompanied by Ofada stew.

Ofada stew borrows its name from Ofada Rice. This stew or sauce originates from the Western part of Nigeria, has a very unique, addictive, enticing flavor. It is very tasty and Spicy cause of the combination of peppers in it. Can’t say much about this, it is better experienced than said😉
