Why should you eat amala?
It is made of yam, cassava flour, or unripe plantain flour. The flour is called elubo and it is achieved when tubers of yams are peeled, sliced, cleaned, dried and then milled.
Althought the yams are white in colour, they turn brown when dried which gives amala its colour.
