Potash (Kaun) is edible and is usually used for cooking pulses like beans, akidi (black Mexican beans), fiofio (cowpea beans) etc in order to tenderize the pulses so easily. Akanwu is also added in ewedu and okro soup during preparations in order to boost the viscosity as well as to increase the greenness and texture of the vegetables. It is used for mixing water and oil while preparing local dishes like abacha, ugba and nkwobi. Although the potash is used for certain food preparations however, studies reveal that it is not suitable for our health thus curtailing the level of consumption is highly advisable. Palmfruit ashes (ngu), ashes of roasted peels of unripe plantain and baking soda are an healthier alternative to potash. 2.
