Iwisa Super Maize Meal 2kg

Description

Iwisa Super Maize Meal 2kg is a finely milled white maize meal from the well-known South African brand Iwisa — the staple used to prepare pap (also called sadza, nshima or ugali across different Southern and Eastern African countries), a smooth, stiff porridge that's a daily staple across the region. Pack size: 2kg.

How to prepare

• Bring water to the boil, then gradually stir in the maize meal until it thickens.
• Cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until the pap reaches a smooth, stiff consistency — typically 15-20 minutes.
• Serve hot alongside a meat or vegetable stew, or as a soft porridge for breakfast with milk and sugar.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from moisture.
• Best used within 6 months of opening.

Frequently asked

Is this the same as Nigerian ogi or pap?

It's a different style — Iwisa maize meal is milled for the stiffer Southern African pap/sadza/ugali, whereas Nigerian ogi is a fermented, smoother corn porridge. Both are corn-based staples but prepared differently.

Is it gluten-free?

Yes — maize is naturally gluten-free. Check the pack for cross-contamination information.
