Masa / waina (Nigerian fermented rice, millet, sorghum or maize cakes)masa
Rice, millet, sorghum or maize is soaked, wet-milled and left to sour, often with some batter kept from the last batch. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast drop the pH from about 6 to below 4 in a day, and the batter is fried in a cup-shaped pan, or rolled into balls, as puffy cakes.

Grain (rice, millet, sorghum or maize)
The study used white maize; the 2026 review lists rice, millet, maize and sorghum as the grains[sanni2013][olanbiwoninu2026]

Rice, millet, sorghum or maize is soaked, wet-milled and left to sour, often with some batter kept from the last batch. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast drop the pH from about 6 to below 4 in a day, and the batter is fried in a cup-shaped pan, or rolled into balls, as puffy cakes. Made in 4 steps over 28 h. The longest step, cover and ferment, takes 24 h (Sanni A.I 2013) and runs at 26–30 °C (Sanni A.I 2013). Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus acidilactici do most of the fermenting.
Masa is a fried cake, where the West African ogi and koko are sour grain porridges, and it can be made from maize, millet, sorghum or rice. Many makers keep back some batter to start the next one.
The batter reaches pH below 4 before frying. A 2026 review of street-vended masa says Shigella, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, E. coli and Staphylococcus have been detected in it, that the spontaneous fermentation makes safety and quality vary, and that it recommends HACCP and routine testing for contaminants and mycotoxins.
Hazards the sources name: Shigella, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus, detected in street-vended masa.
Sanni and Adesulu (2013) write that masa is eaten with honey every Friday after Jumat prayers by Yoruba Muslims, and that it is also made the night before funerals, weddings or the 40th day after a child's birth.
