Ekpangnkukwo: is one of Nigeria's special delicacy it is a native food for Akwa Ibom and Cross River people. It is one of the meal we used serve groom family on a traditional marriage day, we called it (udia ibenehe isen) we also used to serve a woman who newly put to birth with this meal, the meal normally help the woman to look healthy!

I like this food so much because of all the orishirishi(small chops) that follows it, and it's so palatable, we called it chop one chop two😂 meaning if you have a taste of a plate of it, you will definitely demand for another one. The food is not only delicious, but it has a lot of health benefits you will not want to miss. This includes:

• it improves the heart health
• it packed with antioxidants, that will help in fighting deadly desease
• it lowers bad cholesterol
• it cures inflammation
• Cocoyam sprouts is a good source of Vitamin C and vitamin A etc.

I grew up to love this meal so much because my momma used to prepare it for us at least once a week. Till now I used to cook ekpangnkukwo in my house, and each time I do, I recalled how my siblings and I used to gather around to wrapped up the paste, and we used to eat together! The meal is Time consuming but it worth it. Thanks for reading through! I love you all💕
