Fermented milk from Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and other parts of West Africa
Nunu (West African soured milk)nunu
Nunu is a yoghurt-like soured milk from Ghana and its neighbours, made only from raw cow's milk. The milk is left in a calabash or other container at room temperature for one to two days, and wild lactic bacteria and yeasts sour it. No starter culture is used; the container and old stock from earlier ferments carry the microbes. It is drunk alone or with fura millet balls.

Recipe
No fixed amounts recordedHome production with no fixed amounts; the milk is simply collected into a container and left to sour.
Fresh raw cow's milk
Nunu is made only from cow's milk, not goat, sheep or camel milk[akabanda2014]
Old stock from earlier ferments (no starter culture)
Old stock and the fermentation container are used to start each new batch[akabanda2014]

At a glance
Nunu is a yoghurt-like soured milk from Ghana and its neighbours, made only from raw cow's milk. The milk is left in a calabash or other container at room temperature for one to two days, and wild lactic bacteria and yeasts sour it. No starter culture is used; the container and old stock from earlier ferments carry the microbes. It is drunk alone or with fura millet balls. Made in 5 steps over 2 days – 3 days. The longest step, leave the milk to sour at room temperature, takes 24 h – 2 days (Akabanda F 2014). Limosilactobacillus (Lactobacillus) fermentum, dominant throughout the fermentation and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides, prominent in the first 6–8 h do most of the fermenting.
Nunu is soured from raw cow's milk alone, with no boiling and no starter culture, so the container and old stock set the microbes, and L. fermentum rather than yoghurt bacteria leads.
Starter-culture nunuMilk heated to 60 °C for 30 min (the study calls this pasteurised) fermented at 35 °C with L. fermentum, L. plantarum or L. helveticus starters from nunu cut the fermentation time (Akabanda et al. 2014).
Safety
Nunu is made from raw milk with an uncontrolled fermentation. Metagenomic study found putatively pathogenic E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in some samples, and frequent bovine-gut bacteria. The starter trial calls 60 °C for 30 minutes pasteurising, but the US legal definition starts at 63 °C for 30 minutes, so that heating cannot be relied on to make raw milk safe.
