About Moin moin

Moin Moin is a traditional Nigerian steamed bean pudding made primarily from peeled black-eyed peas, blended with onions, peppers, and spices. Rich in protein and fiber, it serves as a nutritious staple in West African cuisine, often enjoyed as a side dish or snack. Moin Moin typically includes heart-healthy oils, such as palm oil or vegetable oil, and may be enhanced with additional ingredients like fish, boiled eggs, or crayfish for extra flavor and nutrients. Its steaming preparation method retains moisture and preserves essential nutrients while avoiding added fats from frying. Low in carbohydrates, Moin Moin supports balanced energy levels and can be an excellent option for those managing weight or looking for plant-based protein sources. However, depending on the quantity of oil or salt used, it’s worth monitoring portion sizes to maintain its health benefits within a balanced diet.
