In Jamaica and most of the Caribbean, we call that (yam in the tree) breadfruit. We have different varieties and is a popular staple in Jamaica. We mostly prefer it roasted on woodfire, but we also boil it, and fry it. They have to be mature to taste good and the best tasting ones tend to be a slightly yellow on the inside.
I love to eat breadfruit. In Hawai'i we call it 'ulu. And we eat it in a very similar way, by steaming it, pounding it, and sometimes fermenting it before adding water. That's called pa'i 'ai, or pounder food, and after water is mixed in its called poi. Sometimes we just bake it and eat the slices, with something oily like pork or fish. When I visited Jamaica, I thought a died and went to heaven!! It was like all my favorite foods were mixed together to create the best cuisine!! I LOVE breadfruit, cocoyan and plantain!
Yes, it is bread fruit. My parents are from Jamaica by way of transatlantic slave route. My Ghanaian hubby saysJamaicans is from Ghana. I’m planning my second trip in a 2 months. I’m completely in love with Ghana. It reminds me of Jamaica. This time I’m taking my nephews with me. 🌺🇬🇭🌺🇬🇭
@@BeastKween yes sis, I'm not Jamaican I'm black American, but most likely my roots are in the Caribbean before Africa, and we have Akan ancestry there's also many who have Asante and Ewe ancestry as well. Were truly family
Wow I'm learning so much. We use to eat clay dirt in America South and I never knew were that came from so it had to come from mph African ancestors. Wow this is awesome.
I remember I was so addicted to eating clay because my mom used to eat it a lot. If you crave sandy things, go to a doctor it’s definitely pica syndrome. Eating this excessively can cause bowel movement problems. I wouldn’t advise anybody to even indulge in it.
@@handsofvera7439 yes girl, it’s really not good for your body and it’s really hard to stop. I started taking iron pills and telling myself to not let it control my life
Here in Nigeria, we also eat baked clay but we call it nzu, uro, nlo but all these are different Igbo accent of pronouncing the baked clay and I must say, it's always very delicious 😊..yeah, Africa gat interesting mysteries 💕
@@lucyafrifa8368 That's because we are more closely related than you think. You say Akwaaba in Ghana which means welcome. We say Ekaabo in Yoruba which means welcome.
I'm from the Calabar region of Nigeria. Our clay is unmatched within the region of west Africa.. it's really yummy. what a treat to get a chance to watch this ☺️❣️
Unfortunately your region produces nzu and ulo both are nasty don’t like those clays, one is too salty and other is waxy, the only clay I love from naija is eko from edo state… Cameroon got the best calaba ever!!!
in Trinidad and Tobago that fruit is call breadfruit mostly cooked with coconut milk, pigtails and its well seasoned the dish is call oil down its the national dish of Grenada 🇬🇩 but the cooking process is different to Trinidad 🇹🇹
Omg I'm from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 I've been looking for breadfruit(yam in the sky)here in Ghana since October.Now I know I have to go to the Volta region! Thank you Jasmine😆
This was a dope video. Since I've repatriated to Ghana, I've taken to munching in the clay. It's so satisfying. However, I've become particular about the taste I want. The white one is definitely my favorite. Thanks for the video sis. #cheersforshile
Please don't eat it everyday, when you feel you can't stay a day without it then you are becoming addicted, which is dangerous, you start having stomach pains, constipation, short of blood. When you become addicted to it, it is called pica . It smell nice very, but try and eat it once in while. Not every day then you entering the danger zone. If you are craving to much is becoming an addiction please go to any pharmacy and buy this medicine which is Ferrous Sulphate. When you you lack iron, you tend crave more of these clays, this medicine save my live, inform some who also need it. If you an occasionally eater, try and deworm every three months
That's bentonite vitamin clay. Commonly used to strengthen astronauts bones while working inside space station. Without it astronauts struggle to work straight when back on earth. In some countries they sell 400g of Bentonite for $25. It is also used for cosmetics and many others food enrichment supplements for a child or for industrial chicken bones growth.
@@JasmineAmaa I like watching your channel because you uncover many neglected potential industries that can change people destiny if modernized. Can you imagine launching Bentonite clay pellets with all the delicious flavour like orange, vanilla.strawberry ,lime etc... Many pharmacies in Africa sell imported Bentonite tablets while it is widely available we just need to sterilise and pack it with modern packaging. I estimate the all bentonite market in Africa close to $100 millions dollar it is also mined and sold in my country Congo Brazzaville.
It's true, this is a high quality "holistic" treatment. You see how many people think it's bad or causes anemia? Only thing I don't know how appetizing the added flavors would be.
Edible clay is eaten in most parts of africa,even here in the south we have it but ours is square shaped, pregnant women loooooves it ,but it's not good as it cause iron deficiency.
Yep seen it in Southern Africa pregnant women eat it and I vividly recall my late aunt had a small machine back in the 80's where she used to grind some just for herself. She never sold it though and I enjoyed it too.
I was born in Central Florida and people in our region ate clay the same way. Then they transitioned to eating Argo starch, which has a similar chalky taste and texture to the clay. I guess it is one of those things that never left them even after they were enslaved. Scientist call eating clay, dirt, any none food material pica, but I know and think my ancestors knew the body was calling for something in the clay. I think it is iron that the body calls for.
I agree with this. At 45 y.o., I've taken to clay eating and it's not only satisfying, but I see that it's whitening and remineralizing teeth. At least it's slowing down decay. If this clay is the same they call bentonite clay, yen I've also stumbled upon some awesome benefits of consumption. It detoxes the liver and kidneys. Of course, I don't overdo it. I have at least 5-6 pellets a day and keep it moving.
I'm 55 years old man from South Carolina and I remember as a kid my mama having a big box of starch that I used to sneak and eat. I always heard it was for pregnant women but I couldn't stop myself from eating it 😂
We also have it here in Gabon, we call it Calaba it's imported from Cameroon or Nigeria, mostly pregnant women eat it but other women eat it too. Eaten in large quantity caused constipation. Doctors actually advice to stay away from it as it can cause anaemia
@@melaniemenel4722 it's a clear sign of unclean water or fecal matter being present in the processing of the clay.. . it must've come in contact with an unclean surface you must be sure of it's origin and standard of hygiene before ever consuming these types of regional clay. 😐 I'm sorry for what you went through 🥺
love Jasmine u always seem to come up with interesting videos and i always trying new things too love it and would to wish u and Aisha a very Happy and safe Easter too ? Ashley Australia
You should do a documentary on how Nakumatt clays are made ... basically visit India, Gujarat state, that is where it comes from. There is no information on the Internet about it and m sure it would blow up like this one... I loved this video of yours and would love more like this
‘Yam in the sky’, we call it breadfruit here ( guess bc it kind of looks like inside of bread 🍞when it’s cut/cooked & fruit bc it has a seed??😅) & it’s one of myyyyy favs.
Hmmm 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i can feel all that he's saying about how the get into the clay it is not easy i did this from age 10 to pay my school fees throughout my schooling. May God continue to bless our hustling 🙇
Iont know how this appeared randomly on my screen..but I have one in pocket rn as I ‘speak’ and it’s 4am in the morning..the first thing I am eating before breakfast..🥵this sh$$ is addictive af..argh!
I went there in 2013 when I was host of The Maternal Health Channel TV Series. We looked at it from a health perspective for pregnant women and how it wasn't healthy. The clay actually depletes iron in the body and made the women anemic causing serious issues for carrying their babies. I was told that women couldn't go there because I was on my menstrual cycle. But eventually they let me come because I was host of the program and the executive producer insisted. Wait... You said the Volta Region has immaculate roads??? Chale.. Not all oh. I've been all over Volta and I can attest to some of the worst roads. Where you went does have good roads.
Yeah you are right. After i made that statement i came across some pretty bad ones. I heard the clay is good in small doses though. Most people eat way too much and i think thats where the problem stems from. 💕
Sorry but according to the minerals commission, we don’t have deposits of ‘ bentonite clay’ what we have is kaolin So it’s not bentonite. There’s a whole book on the mineral deposits in Ghana. Needed bentonite clay for a research and I couldn’t get that
Ugh I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve always craved this thing but everyone from my childhood said it was bad for us and it wasn’t safe to eat it 😫 I’m low-key scared that I’ll get addicted if I try it but I reallllyy want to 😂 I enjoyed the video as well, quite enlightening. Thanks 🤗
Don't even think of starting to eat it...once you start the addiction is real and not easy to stop....I used to eat but I stopped....but before I stopped eating the clay....took me alot of time.
Great video Jasmine! But I hope you advised them to use ear plugs and face mask because the noise from the machine and also the dust that’s produced during the milling is too much. I saw one man wearing though.
We Afro Surinames called it Koko PimBa or Pimba in Suriname and it comes from the Marroon Sociiety ,but we it used for our Afrikan Spirutuality purpose we don,t used the powder from the Euopeans . pure Nature. We eat it also not to much ,and mostly pregnant women.
Wow Jasmine I have been asking everyone if they grow this thé there?? I’m actually cooking it right now we love this.. you can fry it boil it even make a fufu if you add it to Casav! We call it ( Lame Veritable ) Jamaicans call it (Bread fruit ) anyway that’s what it looks like would really love to know to sure we are actually moving to the Volta Region spectacular! 😁
@@JasmineAmaa something like fried Yam but better. Can be seasoned or not and still be good most people in Haiti use it to make Fufu which we call Tomtom! Tomtom is the culinary missing link between Africa, Haiti, and Louisiana. Similar to African Fufu, Tomtom's only difference is that it's starch component is that of Bread-fruit (l'arbe veritable) instead of the Cassava typically found in its African mother dish.
First the scenery is so pleasant and you well and the guy that was turning the grinder wheel was going to fast I thought you had speed up the video 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 that clay was amazing I like something when I was small in America we ate starch that was use by our parents it was white color power in a blue box I think they it for iron or clean clothes or other things but it good taste not sweet or bitter but it stick to the roof of your mouth like eating crackers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi princess Jasmine. Here in the states in Mississippi my mom said when was a girl living there they use to eat red mud. I can't not imagine someone eating that, gross. But my said it was good. So now after seeing this video of people in Ghana eating clay. I kinda want to try it myself.
I use to eat cornstarch straight from the box! I found out that many people, mostly women, in the American southern states would eat red dirt and red clay. If I could have gotten my hands on this Ayilo!!!!!! For me as it turned out, my craving was pica due to a vitamin and iron deficiency. Once that was corrected, I no longer had the craving. Is this the same bentonite clay used in soap and hair products?
Yep....although, I have a pica addiction for talc powder. I understand what u are saying. Unfortunately, I think my cravings are back again due to stress
My goodness, I buy it in the 🇺🇸, 4 pieces for $1.00, I never know it takes a lot of work to get it done, my next trip to Ghana I will make sure it visit this place, yummy 😋 ,stay blessed guys 🙏👍🏾🇺🇸

We eat a lot in Cameroon. We call it 'kalaba'. We're always told not to eat it that it causes anemia and the sand deposit can cause appendicitis 😨
Here in Ghana we call it Kalaba as well
First the scenery is so pleasant and you well and the guy that was turning the grinder wheel was going to fast I thought you had speed up the video 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 that clay was amazing I like something when I was small in America we ate starch that was use by our parents it was white color power in a blue box I think they it for iron or clean clothes or other things but it good taste not sweet or bitter but it stick to the roof of your mouth like eating crackers 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi princess Jasmine. Here in the states in Mississippi my mom said when was a girl living there they use to eat red mud. I can't not imagine someone eating that, gross. But my said it was good. So now after seeing this video of people in Ghana eating clay. I kinda want to try it myself.
It doesn’t have a strong taste so its not hard to eat. U can easily eat one.
My village
Mine too😊🤗
I ❤ these adventure meal post.
I eat it alot here in Nigeria
Wow 😮
Sierra Leone, most people boiled the clay with powdered fish and ground pepper. Some pregnant women love it.
Wow interesting
Ama. I love the efforts and energy you put into your contents. Keep it up
Very much appreciated
@@JasmineAmaa you Welcome
Wow beautiful💖😍
Amazing crunch
I use to eat cornstarch straight from the box! I found out that many people, mostly women, in the American southern states would eat red dirt and red clay. If I could have gotten my hands on this Ayilo!!!!!! For me as it turned out, my craving was pica due to a vitamin and iron deficiency. Once that was corrected, I no longer had the craving. Is this the same bentonite clay used in soap and hair products?
Yep....although, I have a pica addiction for talc powder. I understand what u are saying. Unfortunately, I think my cravings are back again due to stress
@@efiaahimah3713 Aye! Yes we live in stressful times but my dear sister. I pray that you are able to de-stress and get it under control.
In Cameroon we call it calabar chalk, I use to eat it a lot but it caused me blockage in my intestines n as asks to stop. But I use it for my skin.
Ghana 🇬🇭 my motherland we have everything
Interesting vlog, always something new to see and learn about on your channel, love it.

In Haiti they eat clay too. Actually there is a version of clay eating in almost all African countries.
black Haitians come from West africa ..they carry the culture
It's real
Yes they say Haitian eat it for hungriness it's not true cause I eat that Haitian clay all the time not because I'm hungry
