Ofada Rice

Ofada rice is unpolished, some or all of the rice bran is left on the grain, strengthening the flavour and making it more nutritious. Ofada rice is traditionally served in an uma leaf (Thaumatococcus daniellii), with a sauce of Scotch bonnet and bell pepper, onion, locust beans, palm oil, and meat. It is a festive meal rather than an everyday type of food for most Nigerians but is everyday Street food for the towns of Ikenne and Ilisan in Ogun state. Ofada rice has been grown in Ogun State since the 1940s. It is purported to have been smuggled by a soldier into Nigeria when the soldier returned from Asia and planted the rice in Ofada.
