ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Dry Corn is used for making Pap. Pap is used for making Corn meal. Preparing Pap requires cleanliness, hence, it is impossible to produce Pap without water. There are different types of grains that can be used for making Pap, but the most common ones are Corn/Maize or Guinea Corn used for white or brown Pap. Both white or yellow maize can be mixed, some may add Soy Beans as well just as depicted in the pictures on this page.

How to prepare Pap:

Buy the dry Corn or Guinea Corn
Soak the dry Corn in a bucket of cold or hot water for three days
Rinse the Corn to get rid of dirt such as small stones
Then take it to the Mill for grinding or Pound it to paste in a mortar
Sift to fine paste with fabric sift or aluminium sift
Begin to drain the water on top of the Pap paste as it is settling
Continue to change the water to preserve it or
Pour into cotton fabric bag for drying for preservation.
