"Incredible value! Smooth, creamy, and exactly how I remember Akamu back home. I've struggled to get the texture right with other brands, but Poshy makes it effortlessly smooth and rich every time. Definitely my go-to from now on!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Poshy Foods products? We've got answers.

What is Ogi (Akamu, Koko, Pap)?

Ogi is a cherished West African fermented cornmeal pudding that goes by many names across the continent. In Nigeria, it's called Ogi; in Igbo culture, it's known as Akamu; in Hausa, it's Koko; and across many African homes, it's simply called Pap. Made from fermented corn, millet, or sorghum, Ogi is a smooth, creamy porridge that's naturally gluten-free, naturally fermented, and deeply nourishing. Poshy Foods offers authentic Ogi made with traditional fermentation methods, bringing you the genuine taste of home.

How to prepare Ogi?

Preparing Poshy Ogi is simple and quick! Start by mixing 5 tablespoons of Poshy Ogi flour with 1/2 cup of cold water to create a smooth, lump-free slurry. Then, bring 1.5 cups of water to a rolling boil. Slowly pour the boiling water into the slurry while stirring vigorously with a spoon or whisk. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy, pudding-like consistency. Cover and let it steam for 3-5 minutes to deepen the flavor. Customize with sugar, honey, milk, or spices like ginger and cinnamon to taste. Serve hot with your favorite accompaniments like Moi Moi, Akara, or fried plantains.

Yes! Poshy Foods products are made with organic, authentic ingredients sourced from trusted smallholder farmers and producers across Africa. We prioritize organic farming practices and work directly with agricultural partners who share our commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical sourcing. All our products are made with real ingredients—no preservatives, no fillers, no shortcuts. We believe in clean labeling, so you always know exactly what you're eating.

What makes Poshy Foods different?

Poshy Foods stands out through our unwavering commitment to authenticity, quality, and heritage. Unlike many commercial products, we use traditional fermentation methods, source organic ingredients from trusted African farmers, and maintain zero preservatives in our formulations. Our products are shelf-stable yet made with real ingredients, making them perfect for busy modern lifestyles without compromising on taste or nutrition. Additionally, we offer white-label solutions for businesses and work to build ethical supply chains that support smallholder farmers across Africa.

How to store Poshy Foods products?

Poshy Foods products are shelf-stable and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the package tightly sealed to maintain freshness. Our products don't require refrigeration until opened, but for best results after opening, you can store them in an airtight container in your pantry. The products maintain their quality for extended periods due to our traditional fermentation and drying processes, which naturally preserve the ingredients without artificial preservatives.

Can Ogi be part of a family meal?

Yes — Ogi (Akamu) has been a cherished part of West African family meals for generations, enjoyed by adults and children alike. It's naturally gluten-free, smooth, and easy to prepare, and can be made thicker or thinner to suit your preference. Poshy Ogi is made with organic ingredients and no preservatives. As with introducing any food to infants or young children, we recommend following your pediatrician's or physician's guidance.

What makes Poshy Ogi nourishing?

Poshy Ogi is made through a traditional slow-fermentation process using organic corn or millet, giving it a smooth, creamy texture and a naturally tangy flavour. It's gluten-free and a source of carbohydrates for everyday energy. Many people enjoy fermented foods like Ogi as part of a balanced diet. If you have specific dietary needs or health conditions, we recommend checking the ingredient list and consulting your physician.

Do you ship internationally?

We ship across Canada directly from poshyfoods.com, and our products are also available on Amazon.ca (and Amazon in the United States). We're working to expand our distribution to reach more markets. For international shipping inquiries, bulk orders, or retail partnerships outside our current markets, please contact us through our contact form. We're committed to bringing authentic African flavors to food lovers worldwide and are actively exploring new distribution channels.

How long do Poshy Foods products last?

Poshy Foods products are shelf-stable and have a long shelf life thanks to our traditional fermentation and drying processes. Unopened packages typically remain fresh for 12-18 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, we recommend using the product within 3-6 months for optimal freshness and flavor. The exact shelf life depends on the specific product and storage conditions. Always check the best-before date on the package and store products properly to maintain their quality.

Are Poshy Foods products suitable for vegans?

Yes, Poshy Foods Ogi products are vegan-friendly! Our Ogi flour is made from fermented corn or millet and contains only plant-based ingredients. However, when preparing Ogi, you can customize it with either plant-based or dairy milk according to your dietary preferences. Our Suya Spice and Pepper Soup Spices are also plant-based. Always check individual product ingredients if you have specific dietary requirements, and feel free to contact us with any questions about allergens or dietary compatibility.

What is the difference between Yellow and White Ogi?

The main difference between Yellow and White Ogi lies in the type of grain used. Yellow Ogi is typically made from yellow corn, which gives it a golden color and slightly sweeter, richer flavor. White Ogi is made from white corn, resulting in a lighter color and milder, more neutral taste. Both varieties are prepared the same way and offer the same nutritional benefits. The choice between them often comes down to personal preference or regional traditions. Some recipes may call for one over the other for visual or flavor reasons.

What makes Poshy Foods Chin Chin special?

Poshy Chin Chin is hand-cut, fried in small batches, and sweetened with real milk, honey, and nutmeg for a nostalgic Nigerian crunch. It contains zero preservatives, ships in tamper-evident 400 g jars, and stays crispy when you reseal the lid between snacking sessions.

How can I serve Chin Chin for parties or gifting?

Pair Chin Chin with Chapman mocktails, Zobo drinks, or palm wine, sprinkle over parfaits and ice cream, or package single-serve snack cups for weddings, birthdays, bridal showers, and office celebrations. Add it to gift baskets with Ogi or Suya Spice for an authentic Nigerian snack bundle.
