The fermented maize flour that makes Ghanaian cooking authentic — delivered to your UK door 🇬🇧

There are shortcuts in cooking. And then there are the right ingredients. Dawsson Fermented Maize Flour is the right ingredient — 100% pure fermented corn, carefully processed and milled into a fine, versatile flour that forms the authentic base of Ghana’s most beloved dishes. Kenkey. Banku. Akple. Corn porridge. Tom Brown. Every dish that begins with fermented maize begins better with Dawsson.

Fermentation is not just a process — it is a transformation. When maize is allowed to ferment naturally, its starches begin to break down, its natural sugars develop complexity, and that characteristic mildly sour, tangy flavour emerges — the flavour that makes Ghanaian food taste like Ghanaian food and nothing else. Dawsson captures that fermentation at its peak and delivers it to your kitchen in a convenient 250g pack.

The Ingredient

🌽 100% Fermented Maize (Corn) Flour — whole maize kernels, naturally fermented using the traditional West African method, then carefully dried and finely milled into a smooth, consistent flour. The fermentation process develops the characteristic mildly sour, tangy flavour profile that is the hallmark of authentic Ghanaian fermented corn dishes — and makes the flour significantly easier to digest than unfermented corn flour.

How to Use

🫕 For Kenkey (Ghanaian Fermented Corn Dumpling):

1. Mix Dawsson Fermented Maize Flour with water to form a smooth dough
2. Divide into two portions — partially cook one half (aflata) on the stove, then combine with the uncooked half and mix thoroughly
3. Shape into balls and wrap tightly in dried corn husks or banana leaves
4. Steam for 45–60 minutes until firm and cooked through
5. Serve hot with grilled fish, shito, or fresh pepper sauce

🥣 For Corn Porridge (Ogi / Akasa): Mix flour with cold water to a smooth paste. Pour into boiling water, stir continuously until thickened. Serve hot with sugar, milk, or groundnuts.

🍲 As a base for Banku: Combine with cassava dough or use alone for a corn-only banku base. Cook in boiling water, stirring continuously until smooth and elastic.

Tip: The natural fermented aroma of this flour is characteristic and entirely normal — it is the sign of authentic, properly fermented maize flour.
