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), ashum (Antigua),[4] sansam and chilli bibi (Trinidad),[5] caan sham, casham and kasham (Belize).[6]
It is made by shelling dry corn, parching it, and then grinding it finely.[7] Salt or sugar can then be added to the mixture and it can be eaten dry or with water.[3]
