Yam Flour
Olu Olu® Yam Flour is produced from organic (non-GMO) yam tubers, which have been grown across the planes of Nigeria. The yams are peeled, washed and cut into pieces. The succulent yam pulps are then left to dry naturally in the sun, so the natural flavours and nutrients are retained. This results in sun-ripened, nutrient rich Yams that are milled into fine flour.
