Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Yellow Ogi different from White Ogi?

Yellow Ogi is made from yellow corn, which contains beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor), giving it a naturally sweeter taste and golden color. It has slightly higher nutritional value due to the carotenoids. Both varieties are prepared the same way and are equally nutritious.

Can I use Yellow Ogi for savory dishes?

Yes! While Yellow Ogi is naturally sweeter and often used for breakfast, it's also excellent in savory applications. Try it as a side dish with soups and stews, similar to polenta, or as a base for Agidi (Eko) - a firm, sliceable version perfect with pepper soup.

Is Poshy Ogi organic?

Yes, Poshy Ogi (both Yellow and White varieties) is made from 100% organic, non-GMO corn sourced from sustainable farms. Our fermentation process uses traditional methods with no artificial additives, preservatives, or chemicals.

How long does Ogi last after opening?

Unopened Poshy Ogi has a shelf life of 12-18 months. Once opened, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and use within 6 months for best quality. You can also refrigerate opened Ogi to extend freshness.

Can I make Agidi (Eko) with Poshy Ogi?

Absolutely! To make Agidi, use a higher ratio of Ogi flour to water (1 cup Ogi to 2 cups water). Cook until very thick and stretchy, then pour into molds. Let it set for 5-10 hours at room temperature until firm. Slice and serve with soups or stews.
