Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
A sour starter dough (ajin) of sorghum flour and water is stirred into boiling water, and more sorghum flour is beaten in until the mix is thick. It boils a few minutes more into a stiff, sour porridge eaten with stews. Made in 5 steps over 9.3 h – 24 h. The longest step, ferment the starter dough (ajin), takes 9–24 h (Mohammed S.I 1991) and runs at 30 °C (Mohammed S.I 1991). Pediococcus pentosaceus (dominant after 24 h and in back-slopped batter), with Lactobacillus brevis and L. confusus and Yeasts Candida intermedia and Debaryomyces hansenii do most of the fermenting.
No fixed amounts recordedProportions from a 2025 study that cooked aceda the traditional way; households use no fixed amounts.
Whole-grain sorghum flour · Stone-ground; Feterita-type sorghum such as Wad Ahmed is the usual choice[hamid2025]
Fermented dough (ajin) · Old fermented dough mixed with fresh flour and water; added to boiling water at 1:10 by volume[hamid2025]
Water · Flour is beaten in at 1 part flour to 2 parts water (weight to volume)[hamid2025]
Starter: backslop (a portion of earlier fermented dough)

What makes this one different
Aceda is a stiff porridge, unlike kisra, the thin sorghum flatbread made from a similar sour batter, and nasha, a thin sour porridge for children. Here the sour starter goes straight into boiling water and is thickened with fresh flour.
Biofortified-sorghum acedaMade from the biofortified Dahab cultivar, alone or blended with Wad Ahmed; these scored highest for liking in a 2025 panel.
Safety
Enterobacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae were found early in Sudanese sorghum batter. The boil kills vegetative bacteria, so serve aceda freshly cooked.
Hazards the sources name: Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae, found during the batter fermentation.
