“When the Indians ground the corn between two smooth stones, they made balls with it and roasted them in a utensil called“ aripo ”(a slightly curved iron plate made of clay). From there it even owes its name. ”
However, the mode of preparation changed for the year 1960 when pre-cooked corn flour is already created, what we know today as the “bread flour”. This simplified the process and creation time of it.
