Akamu and custard are corn starch. Corn flour is made directly from the corn without any processing.
You can make your own corn flour. Simply wash, dry the corn and grind at the Millers shop and your corn flour is ready.

Thank you.
I thought as much.
It is this corn flour you just described that is used to make tuwo, right?

I was wondering if the corn flour can be sieved to get akamu/custard or something very close?
Why go through the stress of soaking, wet grinding, and wet seiving to get wet pap?

The corn flour is even more nutritious and healthier than akam or custard as the fibre content is intact.

Any of these can do.
Corn starch is different from corn flour.
Corn starch is highly processed. I don't even like taking the corn starch (akamu) as the nutrients have been processed off.

so the easier process gives the better end product. I used to assume otherwise.

Processed foods are not always better unless there is improvement by adding other enhanced ingredients
