Asham is a corn-based Caribbean dessert.
It is thought to have originated in Africa,[1] with the name asham derived from the Akan word o-sĭám meaning "parched and ground corn".
[2] Other names include Brown George (Jamaica),[3] asham (Grenada), sansam and chilli bibi (Trinidad),[4] caan sham, casham and kasham (Belize).
[5] It is made by shelling dry corn, parching it, and then grinding it finely.
[6] Salt or sugar can then be added to the mixture and it can be eaten dry or with water.
