Gofio - Wheat flour 1 lb.

In Santería and Afro-Cuban religions, gofio is primarily used as an offering (addimú) to specific orishas, most notably Eleguá. It is kneaded with honey, aguardiente, or molasses to prepare sweets or gofio balls, seeking to obtain favor, open paths, and maintain the deity's goodwill. 

• Main use: It is offered to Eleguá to ensure the opening of paths and good fortune.
• Preparation: It is generally mixed with cane molasses (melao) or honey, and small balls are formed and placed before the orisha.
• Meaning: Being a starchy and sweet food, it represents the sweetness of life and the energetic food that keeps the orishas favorable.
