Okpa is a delicacy made from Bambara nuts which is rich in protein. This food is unique with Ndi Igbo, especially Nsukka people in Enugu State. The nuts are grounded into powder many times before it can be used for such food as okpa.Some people cook the nuts and eat it like that just as one would cook groundnuts. Many believe Okpa, as a food, emanated from Nsukka, but most eastern parts of Nigeria now prepare it for personal and for commercial purposes. Okpa is preferably taken with pap, tea or garri (for drinking). Some people add pieces of fresh biter leaf while preparing their okpa. This adds a unique taste to the food. Okpa is very easy to prepare, and originally needs just three ingredients – oil, salt and pepper.
