Àmàlà and ewédú are staple foods in Yoruba cuisine, particularly in the Oyo region of Nigeria. Àmàlà's history dates back to the reign of Alaafin Ajaka in the old Oyo Empire. It gained popularity in the 1900s in Ibadan, where Bashorun Ogunmola introduced gbẹ̀gìrì soup, which pairs well with Àmàlà and ewédú. Ewédú is a popular Yoruba soup made from jute leaves, often served with Àmàlà. The combination of Àmàlà, ewédú, and gbẹ̀gìrì is a beloved dish in Yoruba cuisine, symbolizing heritage, community, and pride. Àmàlà comes in three main types: Àmàlà isu (yam flour), Àmàlà láfún (cassava flour), and Àmàlà ògèdè (plantain flour).
