Kunu is also recommended for nursing mothers as it helps increase the flow of their — milk.

Kunu (also known as kununzaki) is a popular drink mostly in the north. It is usually made from a grain such as millet or sorghum, although it can be made from maize as well.

Kunu that are made from sorghum is usually milky light-brown colour, whilst that which is made from millet and maize is whitish in colour.

You can make kunu by soaking the seeds in water for a few days and blending the soaked grain with sweet potatoes and ginger or pepper to form a smooth paste.
