Kokoro (Yoruba)
Kokoro is a Yoruba word meaning "worm", "grub" or "insect". In traditional Yuruba medicine, these "kokoro" are connected with a variety of different types of diseases. Medicine The term "kokoro" is used in traditional Yoruba medicine to describe tiny, invisible worms or insects that are thought to live in small bags within the body, and perform useful functions such as aiding digestion and fertility. They are thought to also carry sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases. If they become too powerful, they must be controlled, killed or driven out by bitter-tasting medicines. If kokoro are identified with bacteria and viruses, and the small bags are identified with cells, this is consistent with modern medical views.

Kokoro (snack Food)
Kokoro is a snack food in Nigeria. It is made from a paste of maize flour mixed with sugar and gari ( cassava) or yam flour and deep-fried. It is commonly sold in Ogun State in Nigeria. In a 1991 study of foods sold to schoolchildren in Lagos, samples of kokoro were bought from the stalls and subjected to microbiological analysis. Ten different types of bacteria were isolated, including bacteria associated with food poisoning and diarrhea, pointing to the need to improve control of hygiene in their preparation, and to look for ways to extend shelf life. In a study that aimed to find a version with improved nutrition value, it was found that de-fatted soybean or groundnut cake flour could be used, but the taste and texture were not acceptable at more than 10% of the total flour. Another nutritionally improved snack derived from kokoro was developed by extrusion cooking of different mixes of maize, soybean and condiments such as pepper, onion, salt, palm oil Palm oil is a ...
