NIDO is Nestlé's whole milk powder, instantly dissolving. A 400 g can, two ingredients: whole milk and an emulsifier, soy lecithin. It is prepared in a glass, lightens tea and coffee, and goes into porridges, thiakry and baking.
What is NIDO milk?
It is dried whole milk, with at least 26% fat, which regains the taste of whole milk once mixed with water. Very widespread in West Africa, it remains the pantry milk of many diaspora families. This reference is the classic NIDO: its ingredient list contains no added vitamins. Nestlé also sells a “Nido Fortified”, enriched with vitamins and minerals: it is a different product, with a different barcode.
How to prepare it?
- Count 35 g of powder for 250 ml of water, or about 140 g per litre.
- Pour the powder into lukewarm or hot water.
- Stir until the milk is smooth.
A spoonful directly in tea, Touba coffee or a millet porridge also works very well.
What to pair it with?
For a thiakry: KEBA millet thiakri. For a porridge: TANTIE sankhal or QUAKER oat flakes. For breakfast: BARKELOU Touba coffee or 555 green tea. The thiakry recipe is on the blog. The whole section: drinks.
