Why Akara and Pap should be for Beakfast.

Akara, also known as Bean Cakes, Bean Balls, Bean Fritas or Acarajé in Portuguese is a

Nigerian breakfast recipe made with beans.

     Akara balls totally remind me of the weekends when Papa made breakfast. Breakfast was usually akara and pap on those Saturday mornings. Sometimes we brought akara from the woman that sells down the street or Mama made it at home.  I'm pretty certain most people would agree that this is
one of the most satisfying breakfast meals ever.


   It is a common meal Nigerians have for breakfast,  which hawkers sell with trays balanced on their heads as they say, " come and buy akara and pap." Or " sweet akara and pap".

   Akara is just not a indigenous Nigerian meal that   could be pass for a rich snack
made majorly from beans, pepper,tomatoes, onions and oil for frying, it has nutritious benefits;

gotten from the beans and this helps to repair worn out tissues. It’s rich in dietary fiber which helps in reducing cholesterol level. It has potassium which reduces high blood pressure by normalizing it to an optimum level and this makes it great choice for people who are hypertensive.
