About Moin-moin
Moin-Moin is a traditional steamed bean pudding from Nigerian cuisine, made primarily from peeled black-eyed peas, onions, and a blend of spices. It is often enriched with palm oil, crayfish, and optional proteins like fish or eggs, giving it a savory depth of flavor. Known for its light, fluffy texture, Moin-Moin is a nutrient-dense food, offering a good source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron. The black-eyed peas contribute to its low glycemic index, making it a satisfying and energy-sustaining dish. However, the use of palm oil can contribute to high calorie and saturated fat content, so portion sizes and preparation methods matter when incorporating it into a balanced diet. Frequently enjoyed as a side dish or standalone meal, Moin-Moin is a flavorful example of West African culinary heritage.
