    Ngu is actually a healthier substitute to edible potash. Potash purges some people but ngu doesn’t. Try ngu next time and you will love it.

    Hi Zeelicious, there is alternative to potash. It’s called ngu or ash. It’s made from burnt dried palm frond and plam nut thorns

    • @nkwachiuloma9507
      @nkwachiuloma9507 2 года назад +11

      And ngu is healthier than potash

      Thank you. I bought the "ngu" just now and was clueless as to what it actually is before I use it. I literally watched this video just to see if the blogger used it but was disappointed she used the typical potash. I'm happy you miraculously answered my question. Cheers!!

    • @tinaoge4606
      @tinaoge4606 Год назад +1

    • @tinaoge4606

      I never use potash because my stomach does not agree with it. Ngu is just perfect

    You did well, but soaking abacha in boiled water for that long isn’t a wise choice though. Next time, leave it for just a few seconds and rinse off immediately. It will still feel strong but will soften by the time you are ready to use…. This way, the abacha won’t soak up water and feel too soft or watery… Trust me, you will see the difference when you try it this way…

    There is an alternative to potash ma’am you can either use ash same way you dissolved the potash you do same to the ash. And if you don’t want a swollen abacha you can soak with cold water instead of hot and allow for some minutes then it comes out slimmer
