HOW TO EAT AND MAKE WHITE CLAY IN THE VOLTA REGION OF GHANA | HOW AYILO IS MADE | GHANA CULTURE
Clay eating is nothing new in Ghana, Ayilo or Shile as its popularly known is sold all through the country. This particular clay we are making and eating is the same as bentonite clay.
As part of our travel to experience Ghana culture around the Volta region of Ghana, we explored a local town called Anfoega about 4 hours drive from Keta.
We are taught how bentonite clay is dug from the ground and processed for eating.

My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what its like to live in Ghana, from the Ghanaian food, to the Ghanaian culture, to the Ghanaian lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and help inspire to explore Ghana.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.
I remember I was so addicted to eating clay because my mom used to eat it a lot. If you crave sandy things, go to a doctor it’s definitely pica syndrome. Eating this excessively can cause bowel movement problems. I wouldn’t advise anybody to even indulge in it.
I'm also addicted to it, should I see a doctor too?
@@handsofvera7439 yes girl, it’s really not good for your body and it’s really hard to stop. I started taking iron pills and telling myself to not let it control my life
@@princessbaffour thanks sis
God bless you❤
If you are craving it, you are probably anemic and need 200mg iron tablets. Happened a lot to me when I was pregnant..
That's and ice
My goodness, I buy it in the 🇺🇸, 4 pieces for $1.00, I never know it takes a lot of work to get it done, my next trip to Ghana I will make sure it visit this place, yummy 😋 ,stay blessed guys 🙏👍🏾🇺🇸
❤️
So how do u say it there in America
I can always get it and send it to you....if you are interested...i have a lot of it in my hometown
In Jamaica and most of the Caribbean, we call that (yam in the tree) breadfruit. We have different varieties and is a popular staple in Jamaica. We mostly prefer it roasted on woodfire, but we also boil it, and fry it. They have to be mature to taste good and the best tasting ones tend to be a slightly yellow on the inside.
Same thing here in Seychelles.
I would love me some Jamaican red soil from the rural area ❤❤❤❤
Only in jamaica we eat them mature a lot of other countries eat the bud n eat it young
Wow
Yeah we have it in Nigeria. Pregnant women and others eat it and its quite addictive. I used it to make a face mask this past week. It's really good.
Same thing in Ghana
czcams.com/video/Lry_JkHwioQ/video.html
We call that breadfruit or sky fruit in Jamaica . Wow we are really from Ghana there is so Many similarities.
Yes my dear, 🇯🇲’s are from 🇬🇭😍
I love to eat breadfruit. In Hawai'i we call it 'ulu. And we eat it in a very similar way, by steaming it, pounding it, and sometimes fermenting it before adding water. That's called pa'i 'ai, or pounder food, and after water is mixed in its called poi. Sometimes we just bake it and eat the slices, with something oily like pork or fish. When I visited Jamaica, I thought a died and went to heaven!! It was like all my favorite foods were mixed together to create the best cuisine!! I LOVE breadfruit, cocoyan and plantain!
czcams.com/video/Lry_JkHwioQ/video.html
Yes, it is bread fruit. My parents are from Jamaica by way of transatlantic slave route. My Ghanaian hubby saysJamaicans is from Ghana. I’m planning my second trip in a 2 months. I’m completely in love with Ghana. It reminds me of Jamaica. This time I’m taking my nephews with me. 🌺🇬🇭🌺🇬🇭
@@BeastKween yes sis, I'm not Jamaican I'm black American, but most likely my roots are in the Caribbean before Africa, and we have Akan ancestry there's also many who have Asante and Ewe ancestry as well. Were truly family
Volta region is very beautiful and clean, thanks for taking us through the process 🤗🤩
Very beautiful 🤩
Wow I'm learning so much. We use to eat clay dirt in America South and I never knew were that came from so it had to come from mph African ancestors. Wow this is awesome.
I saw the clay caption..I knew it’s my hometown Anfoega… 😊😊😊😊 had to watch
Here in Nigeria, we also eat baked clay but we call it nzu, uro, nlo but all these are different Igbo accent of pronouncing the baked clay and I must say, it's always very delicious 😊..yeah, Africa gat interesting mysteries 💕
Interesting to know, the Ada's in Ghana call sand Nzu or zu too.
Nzu is the salted kind
It's bad for you especially nzu.
@@lucyafrifa8368
That's because we are more closely related than you think. You say Akwaaba in Ghana which means welcome. We say Ekaabo in Yoruba which means welcome.
Pls were can I get ,I stay in Lagos Nigeria
Edible clay is eaten in most parts of africa,even here in the south we have it but ours is square shaped, pregnant women loooooves it ,but it's not good as it cause iron deficiency.
Oooh wow…
For the longest time ever,I have always thought of how this is made..
Thank you for sharing..
in Trinidad and Tobago that fruit is call breadfruit mostly cooked with coconut milk, pigtails and its well seasoned the dish is call oil down its the national dish of Grenada 🇬🇩 but the cooking process is different to Trinidad 🇹🇹
I'm from the Calabar region of Nigeria.
Our clay is unmatched within the region of west Africa.. it's really yummy.
what a treat to get a chance to watch this ☺️❣️
Where do they make this in Calabar, please?
What is it called? Is it nzu or Ulo?
Now I understand why in Togo🇹🇬, it's called Kalaba/Calabar❤️. Africa is beautiful.
Unfortunately your region produces nzu and ulo both are nasty don’t like those clays, one is too salty and other is waxy, the only clay I love from naija is eko from edo state… Cameroon got the best calaba ever!!!
@@bonnydior
Coming from someone who has Zero etiquette and lacks basic communication skills..

Thank you!!!👋😌👋
In Nigeria, we call is Nzu. 🇳🇬
Omg I'm from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
I've been looking for breadfruit(yam in the sky)here in Ghana since October.Now I know I have to go to the Volta region!
Thank you Jasmine😆
Haha you are welcome
You Can get it every where in Ghana if you are in Accra it's call (shiré)
@@dinahbarendes9119 shes talking about the fruit
@@JasmineAmaa oh 😁😁😁 sorry
Wow my favorite I like to eat this every day in sierra Leone I miss it so much
Clay/Chalk has its consumers all over the world. Even on tiktok theres people who made pages/groups of clay/chalk eaters.
I love the passion they have for what they are doing
I was born in Central Florida and people in our region ate clay the same way. Then they transitioned to eating Argo starch, which has a similar chalky taste and texture to the clay. I guess it is one of those things that never left them even after they were enslaved. Scientist call eating clay, dirt, any none food material pica, but I know and think my ancestors knew the body was calling for something in the clay. I think it is iron that the body calls for.
I agree with this. At 45 y.o., I've taken to clay eating and it's not only satisfying, but I see that it's whitening and remineralizing teeth. At least it's slowing down decay. If this clay is the same they call bentonite clay, yen I've also stumbled upon some awesome benefits of consumption. It detoxes the liver and kidneys. Of course, I don't overdo it. I have at least 5-6 pellets a day and keep it moving.
I'm 55 years old man from South Carolina and I remember as a kid my mama having a big box of starch that I used to sneak and eat. I always heard it was for pregnant women but I couldn't stop myself from eating it 😂
@@ImmortalGods Yes! I did that too. It was so good!
@@EmbraceYourJoyHi, what Brand of bentonite are you using? Thanks
Eating clay and dirt has nothing to do with being enslaved. It’s called having Pica disorder. People of all races and backgrounds can develop pica
That's my lovely hometown
It is very tasty
That's alot of money
Anfoega coco
Big time business ooo,I did some after my she.proud of the hometown indeed
Volta region is beautiful with many natural islands.
That’s my hometown 🔥 ANFOEGA TO THE WORLD 💃🔥😍
What part of volta is Afoega?

We also have it here in Gabon, we call it Calaba it's imported from Cameroon or Nigeria, mostly pregnant women eat it but other women eat it too.
Eaten in large quantity caused constipation.
Doctors actually advice to stay away from it as it can cause anaemia
czcams.com/video/Lry_JkHwioQ/video.html
The Ewe tribe in Ghana calls it Calaba too.
I’ve had it before and I had running stomach instead
Should I would say listen pop 0
@@melaniemenel4722
it's a clear sign of unclean water or fecal matter being present in the processing of the clay.. . it must've come in contact with an unclean surface
you must be sure of it's origin and standard of hygiene before ever consuming these types of regional clay.
😐 I'm sorry for what you went through 🥺
Volta region is very beautiful, with alots of natural sites and untapped places, also very rich in many minerals,
czcams.com/video/Lry_JkHwioQ/video.html
Это точно ))
Bentonite clay is also used for skin treatment, it is used for making clay masks and soaps.
Yes thats right
What type of skin treatment if l may ask ma
@@cicimalik OK thanks 🙌
How is it used for skin treatment
@@amasarfo4883 you could just use it as a deep cleansing mask as it helps to unclog your pores hence it’s great for oily or acne prone skin.
Yesssssssss Volta Region and good roads 👏
Where Jasmine went they used to have good roads but they are very terrible now
Hmmm 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i can feel all that he's saying about how the get into the clay it is not easy i did this from age 10 to pay my school fees throughout my schooling. May God continue to bless our hustling 🙇
Oh wowww!! Its so much work. It takes some serious work ethic to do it for such little money ❤️
@@JasmineAmaa Sure. just imagine I'm a little girl those day but i do follow the men inside the whole and bring it out ooo.
It is becoming increasingly popular in the states with children who have eating disorders such as pica thank you for sharing this about the culture
In my house if you eat this they will be watching you like’ is this girl pregnant ??!!! ´ 😅. This is interesting
Lool its the pregnant women that eat it the most
Iont know how this appeared randomly on my screen..but I have one in pocket rn as I ‘speak’ and it’s 4am in the morning..the first thing I am eating before breakfast..🥵this sh$$ is addictive af..argh!
I went there in 2013 when I was host of The Maternal Health Channel TV Series. We looked at it from a health perspective for pregnant women and how it wasn't healthy. The clay actually depletes iron in the body and made the women anemic causing serious issues for carrying their babies.
I was told that women couldn't go there because I was on my menstrual cycle.
But eventually they let me come because I was host of the program and the executive producer insisted.
Wait... You said the Volta Region has immaculate roads??? Chale.. Not all oh. I've been all over Volta and I can attest to some of the worst roads.
Where you went does have good roads.
Yeah you are right. After i made that statement i came across some pretty bad ones. I heard the clay is good in small doses though. Most people eat way too much and i think thats where the problem stems from. 💕
That's bentonite vitamin clay. Commonly used to strengthen astronauts bones while working inside space station. Without it astronauts struggle to work straight when back on earth. In some countries they sell 400g of Bentonite for $25. It is also used for cosmetics and many others food enrichment supplements for a child or for industrial chicken bones growth.
Oh wow, never knew
@@JasmineAmaa I like watching your channel because you uncover many neglected potential industries that can change people destiny if modernized. Can you imagine launching Bentonite clay pellets with all the delicious flavour like orange, vanilla.strawberry ,lime etc... Many pharmacies in Africa sell imported Bentonite tablets while it is widely available we just need to sterilise and pack it with modern packaging. I estimate the all bentonite market in Africa close to $100 millions dollar it is also mined and sold in my country Congo Brazzaville.
It's true, this is a high quality "holistic" treatment. You see how many people think it's bad or causes anemia? Only thing I don't know how appetizing the added flavors would be.
Enjoy the scenery n the weather too as well.
It is cool to see how they process the edible clay. I am a clay eater since childhood.
Can I ask dear don't u have any health issues?
@@florasekubujanda2039 just make sure you drink enough water
@@jenniferampofo1877 thanks dear
@@florasekubujanda2039 By God's grace, no.
Please don't eat it everyday, when you feel you can't stay a day without it then you are becoming addicted, which is dangerous, you start having stomach pains, constipation, short of blood. When you become addicted to it, it is called pica .
It smell nice very, but try and eat it once in while. Not every day then you entering the danger zone.
If you are craving to much is becoming an addiction please go to any pharmacy and buy this medicine which is Ferrous Sulphate.
When you you lack iron, you tend crave more of these clays, this medicine save my live, inform some who also need it.
If you an occasionally eater, try and deworm every three months
The whole area will be smelling delicious 😅.. OMG..😋😋😋😋... Nice nice nice
When I was pregnant I crave this so much but I could not get it in Sweden I had to imagine it in my mouth and feel satisfied
Hahah aww
😂😂😂
The clay is also good for face mask and hair mask. Africa is so rich. It’s expensive here in 🇺🇸
You never came
African Americans in the past would also eat the bentonite clay deposits for the same reasons Ghanaians do. Its a vestige from our ancestors.
Sorry but according to the minerals commission, we don’t have deposits of ‘ bentonite clay’ what we have is kaolin
So it’s not bentonite. There’s a whole book on the mineral deposits in Ghana.
Needed bentonite clay for a research and I couldn’t get that
My boyfriend is from there! 🤭🥰❤️
Anfoegajana🤭🥰
Yep seen it in Southern Africa pregnant women eat it and I vividly recall my late aunt had a small machine back in the 80's where she used to grind some just for herself. She never sold it though and I enjoyed it too.
In Kongo pregnant women crave it too
It’s funny and surprising how those who do the digging which has lots of risks don’t earn a lot of money from selling the dugout clay
So no one is going mention how fine my brother is!!! That dark melanin skin!!!❤
Ok…I just saw him. He is fine though😍

Omggg that my beautiful Anfoega and our white gold
Aw how lovely
This was a dope video. Since I've repatriated to Ghana, I've taken to munching in the clay. It's so satisfying. However, I've become particular about the taste I want. The white one is definitely my favorite. Thanks for the video sis. #cheersforshile
I don't know if it's only me, anytime I eat it I discharge. Though I sometimes crave for it.
Me too
I use it on my face and body
How do you do it please
You should do a documentary on how Nakumatt clays are made ... basically visit India, Gujarat state, that is where it comes from. There is no information on the Internet about it and m sure it would blow up like this one... I loved this video of yours and would love more like this
Can't Wait I'm Going To India..
I’m proud of my hometown ✌️✌️ Anfoega my home,my pride❤️❤️
Proud dzadikuma viwoo
Very very proud
Nice blog. Very informative. We eat in Cameroon 🇨🇲 but in the natural form. I didn't know it was processed like this.
You only spoke about the advantages but as far as I know the disadvantages of eating that clay supersedes that of the advantages.
‘Yam in the sky’, we call it breadfruit here ( guess bc it kind of looks like inside of bread 🍞when it’s cut/cooked & fruit bc it has a seed??😅) & it’s one of myyyyy favs.
Ugh I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve always craved this thing but everyone from my childhood said it was bad for us and it wasn’t safe to eat it 😫
I’m low-key scared that I’ll get addicted if I try it but I reallllyy want to 😂
I enjoyed the video as well, quite enlightening. Thanks 🤗
Is dangerous to your health,it makes you aneamic,constipated,addicted and can even make you have kidney stones
Don't even think of starting to eat it...once you start the addiction is real and not easy to stop....I used to eat but I stopped....but before I stopped eating the clay....took me alot of time.
Girl if you don’t eat that clay… lol
Am currently eating it and watching 😂😂😂.I need deliverance ooh
It's quite addictive oo,I've been eating it for the past 11 yrs and have tried to stop it several times.
We Afro Surinames called it Koko PimBa or Pimba in Suriname and it comes from the Marroon Sociiety ,but we it used for our Afrikan Spirutuality purpose we don,t used the powder from the Euopeans . pure Nature.
We eat it also not to much ,and mostly pregnant women.

We eat a lot in Cameroon. We call it 'kalaba'. We're always told not to eat it that it causes anemia and the sand deposit can cause appendicitis 😨

Great video Jasmine! But I hope you advised them to use ear plugs and face mask because the noise from the machine and also the dust that’s produced during the milling is too much. I saw one man wearing though.
First the scenery is so pleasant and you well and the guy that was turning the grinder wheel was going to fast I thought you had speed up the video 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 that clay was amazing I like something when I was small in America we ate starch that was use by our parents it was white color power in a blue box I think they it for iron or clean clothes or other things but it good taste not sweet or bitter but it stick to the roof of your mouth like eating crackers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello from Uzbekistan! 🇺🇿 I also like to eat chalk and clay and make videos on CZcams. I have a lot of followers and a lot of views.

Have you visited Ghana before?
Sierra Leone, most people boiled the clay with powdered fish and ground pepper. Some pregnant women love it.
Wow interesting
Very interesting with health benefits too
I eat it alot here in Nigeria

I love that fruit it's Called breadfruit in my country 🇯🇲 Jamaica I think you should try it I think you will love it 💙💙🙏🙏 from 🇯🇲
I use to eat cornstarch straight from the box! I found out that many people, mostly women, in the American southern states would eat red dirt and red clay. If I could have gotten my hands on this Ayilo!!!!!! For me as it turned out, my craving was pica due to a vitamin and iron deficiency. Once that was corrected, I no longer had the craving. Is this the same bentonite clay used in soap and hair products?
Yep....although, I have a pica addiction for talc powder. I understand what u are saying. Unfortunately, I think my cravings are back again due to stress
@@efiaahimah3713 Aye! Yes we live in stressful times but my dear sister. I pray that you are able to de-stress and get it under control.

My sis don't try it ooo hmmm
Wow Jasmine I have been asking everyone if they grow this thé there?? I’m actually cooking it right now we love this.. you can fry it boil it even make a fufu if you add it to Casav! We call it
( Lame Veritable ) Jamaicans call it (Bread fruit ) anyway that’s what it looks like would really love to know to sure we are actually moving to the Volta Region spectacular! 😁
So interesting. I did not get to try it. I am so curious about what it tastes like
@@JasmineAmaa something like fried Yam but better. Can be seasoned or not and still be good most people in Haiti use it to make Fufu which we call Tomtom!
Tomtom is the culinary missing link between Africa, Haiti, and Louisiana. Similar to African Fufu, Tomtom's only difference is that it's starch component is that of Bread-fruit (l'arbe veritable) instead of the Cassava typically found in its African mother dish.
FYI this thing is not healthy. It k!lled my cousin in the early 2000’s. You got to eat it in moderation else it will 💀 you.

It doesn’t have a strong taste so its not hard to eat. U can easily eat one.
Doctors don't recommend eating clay. It could cause a blockage in your intestines. And it can affect how you absorb nutrients and electrolytes. Plus, clay or soil can have high levels of harmful germs and heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury.
that not true is good for your health I'm Haitian we have clay in my country I love clay is good for pregnancy in for skin.
