Kunu

Kunu that is made with millet is known as kunu zaki, while kunu that is made with groundnut is called kunu gyada.

Many of us are familiar with this creamy white drink that has a sweet and spicy flavour due to the addition of ginger. Kunu, also known as “Nigeria’s Irish Cream,” is a Northern Nigerian beverage. It is non-alcoholic, and the chief ingredient is millet, which is left to ferment, although there are some varieties where tiger nut, groundnuts, and rice are added. Kunu is enjoyed by both young and old people, regardless of tribe. Kunu is best served cold and can be consumed alone or with food or snacks. Many people enjoy kunu because of its rich flavour, but it is also high in nutrients, as it lowers the risk of diabetes and cholesterol levels, and the fibre in it is beneficial to the digestive system.
