About Moi moi

Moi Moi is a flavorful Nigerian steamed pudding made from blended black-eyed peas, onions, peppers, and a mix of spices. Often enriched with proteins like fish, crayfish, boiled eggs, or meat, this dish is a staple in West African cuisine. Moi Moi is rich in plant-based proteins and dietary fiber, making it a nourishing option for maintaining energy and supporting digestion. Its moderate fat content primarily comes from the use of palm oil, which is high in vitamin E but should be consumed in moderation. With its low carbohydrate profile, Moi Moi can be part of a balanced diet for weight management or glucose control. However, sodium levels may vary depending on preparation and seasoning, so it’s wise to adjust accordingly. Whether served as a standalone dish, alongside jollof rice, or paired with other favorites, Moi Moi combines health benefits with distinctive, bold flavors.
