Gob3, a traditional boiling black-eyed pea meal from Ghana, has been used in several survival strategies, including enhancing the quality of sperm for continued human population growth.
A clinical nutritionist highlighted the science behind the advantages of eating delectable Gob3 for more than just satiating our taste buds on 3FM with Helen Ampofo.
He explained that one of the key elements that promote the generation of high-quality sperm is the nutritious content of beans, particularly fiber.
“It is very rich in fibre, so all foods high in fibre are essential for good sperm quality. It is also very rich in protein. Gob3 has very good protein quality because even in a protein diet, the quality of the protein is also important. Also, it is very high in carbohydrates. So if you look at the nutritional components of beans, carbohydrates are very high.”
According to further explanation, beans, or cowpeas as some indigenous people refer to them, are also rich in micronutrients that are crucial for the creation of sperm.
The dietician claims that boiling beans with your oil and some plantain, gari, or avocado pear are the ideal Gob3 recipe. Gob3 is that.
