About Bean cake

Bean cake, also known as Moimoi or Moin Moin, is a savory dish originating from West African cuisine, particularly Nigeria. Made primarily from peeled and blended black-eyed peas or brown beans, it includes ingredients like onions, bell peppers, and spices for flavor. This protein-rich dish is traditionally steamed or baked and is sometimes complemented with additions like fish, egg, or crayfish. Bean cake is low in fat and a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, supporting digestion and muscle health. It’s also rich in essential nutrients, including iron and vitamins A and B. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation—oil or added fats can increase calorie content. This versatile dish is often enjoyed as a main meal or side, offering both flavor and nourishment to a balanced diet.
