Hi friends, I bring you warm greetings from my country Nigeria and I am very happy to be a partaker in this contest organised by @ripon0630 in this unique community. I will be sharing on the above topic which is the staple food of my country. Guys, I know you might not be In my part of the world but in case of your visit to Nigeria, you should know that the number one staple food in my country is Rice.

What is your country's Staple food? How many times a day is it eaten?

Rice, is my country's staple food, and I say this because so many occasions like weddings, funerals, naming ceremonies and so many other occasions, rice is the major food prepared for that day and follow by other foods but the very number one staple meal is rice. Another reason why rice is my country's staple meal is because of the rate of rice possession and production, alot of farmers farm rice therefore, rice seems to be the most available among all farm produce.

I don't have a specific time for eating this staple meal, fortunate enough, rice is my favorite food so, for that reason, I eat as many times as I want to eat. I'm believing that it's the same as other. people because from my observation, young people prefer rice to other food so speaking of myself, I eat as many times as I want.

Is there any other food added to this food to increase its taste?

Yes! Beans are another food that makes rice sweeter, I remember back then when my mother would cook rice without crayfish or any protein added but I still feel that the food is sweet. She always tells me that beans would serve as the protein which would as well make the meal a balanced meal. Beans have their natural taste even if just cooked like that but I am aware from my childhood that beans and rice are sweeter than just cooking rice alone.

Is it beneficial for our health? How and what amount to eat will not harm our bodies?

Yes! it is very beneficial to health especially when mixed with beans which serve as the protein. Rice is a carbohydrate class of food and it gives energy to the body system. Rice eaters are people with strength because rice gives strength for better work. There is no amount of eating rice that would harm the body or healthy state of an individual. Excess intake of protein causes the problem but even if carbohydrate is consumed in excess the stronger the consumer becomes. So, rice causes no harm but it should be noted that anyone cooking the rice must first wash out that first starchy water when first parboiled.
