Description Groundnut is an important crop for improving the health and nutrition of
smallholders in many countries of West and Central (WCA). It is cheaper
and more widely available than other locally available sources of protein.
Apart from being an important element of regular dishes, groundnut can
also be used to prepare Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTFs) to
manage severe malnutrition among internally displaced persons (IDPs).
This Cook's Guide to Groundnut Delicacies: Favorite Delicacies from
Northern Nigeria is one of the pointers of the commitment of ICRISAT to
contribute to the reconstruction of the previous groundnut pyramids in
different ways. Today, groundnut pyramids should create jobs, expand
market opportunities, enhance the processing of groundnut and
encourage the systematic consumption of healthy groundnut and
groundnut-based products. This is why adopting a market-oriented
approach to boost groundnut production in countries of WCA also
requires sustained awareness-creation campaigns for its consumption. It
covers most of the popular recipes in Nigeria and should therefore help
household and women to uncover options for including groundnut and
groundnut-based products into their daily meals and opportunities for
generating cash incomes.
Professionally, the guide should constitute a handy reference material for
field-based development workers of the Agricultural Development
Authorities (ADPs), Civil Society Organization (CSOs) and Communitybased
Groups. A majority of field-based agents, particularly those of the
Women in Agriculture (WIA) teams of the ADPs in Nigeria, will find this
guide a valuable reference material and companion.
Indeed, this reference guide also raises awareness on the fact that
addressing nutrition requires taking actions at all stages of commodity value
chains - from production, processing, retail to consumption. I congratulate
the authors of this guide for putting together feasible recipes for
groundnut into a single reference guide, and urge colleagues of the ICRISAT,
WCA hub to adapt and/or develop similar guides for other ICRISAT
mandate crops of the region.
