  • Hello people! Hope all is well!
    Back with another video this time won’t be touring Ghana but put a video together on a very famous and local dish “Fufu”.
    “Fufu” is a staple food common in many countries in West Africa and Central Africa such as Cote D’Ivoire, Guinea, Ghana 🇬🇭, Nigeria, both Congos, Cameroon, and Gabon, and is also found in the Caribbean. It is often made in the traditional Ghanaian and Nigerian method by mixing and pounding separate equal portions of cassava and green plantain flour thoroughly with water. It is then adjusted to either increase or decrease the viscosity of the fufu depending on personal preferences.
    1. Other flours, such as semolina, maize flour or mashed plantains may take the place of cassava flour. Fufu is often served with groundnut soup, palm nut soup, abunuabunu or light soup.
    I rather eat jollof before fufu btw 🤪👍🏽😁 👋🏽
    enjoy!
    Thanks always for the love & support!

    That intense hand pounding made me realize that cultures that have food preparation that requires this amount of trust must be the most cohesive cooperative ones. If you can do this activity with anyone in your community and trust them to not smash your hand then it’s clearly a community with a strong bond.

I thought fufu looked unusual and I was intrested in it, and I'm pretty sure those tiktokers were also curious to try it out. I mean sure there are ppl who got into the bandwagon but seriously?

    1. History: Fufuo/fufu means mash or mix in Twi language of the Akan ethnicity in Ghana. Fufuo/fufu is a specific staple food for the Akan ethnic groups in southern part of Ghana 🇬🇭 and Ivory Coast, West Africa.
    Fufuo (also means white and derived from the white color of the cassava/fufu is soft doughy and made out of a mixture of boiled cassava mix with plantains or coco yams pounded together in a mortar (waduro) with a pestle (woma) unique to the Akans and only eaten with liquid soups such as, Light soup(nkrakra soup usually from garden eggs, aubergines, carrots, tomatoes, onions, peppers), palm nut soup, Groundnut/peanut soup, Abun abun (green vegetable soup usually from Nkontomire leaves), werewere soup, akatoa (agushi) soup with meats, fishes, snails, crabs, mushrooms and okro (nkruma) on the side. Fufuo/fufu is usually served in Asanka or Ayowaa (an earthware bowl; black or red in color). Yum yum 😋😋😋🇬🇭🇬🇭
    Authentic Fufuo/fufu ⬇️

    2. th-cam.com/video/-YRv5agXQjU/w-d-xo.html
    Right way to eat Fufu:
    Cut a ball of the Fufu , make a hole in it and scoop the soup and swallow, never chew the Fufu. Lol
    Fufuo/fufu is celebrated every with Fufuo/fufu party by the Akan news mediums in Ghana 🇬🇭 every year.
    The adulterated fufu powder sold in the Ghanaian markets in the western countries is what has caused this confusion and now everyone wants to call every doughy food fufu, even the Nigerian pounded yam and akpu (which is bankye mmore/agbelema/fermented cassava), Amala (Kokonte), Eba (Gari Fufuo), semolina, cabbage dough with Egusi stew [Palava sauce (Nkontomire mixed with Akatoa (Agushi) stew or only Akatoa (Agushi) stew] and Okra stews are now being called Fufu by Nigerians in recent times and it is sabotaging the authentic Ghana Fufuo/fufu and making the name popular and trending internationally in USA because of their large numbers which is wrong.
    Whenever you visit Ghana 🇬🇭 ask for Fufuo/fufu chop bars (Fufuo/fufu restaurants) and you will be surprised that it's all over in Ghana.

    In the depth of a typical Akan region you will hear Fufuo mostly but when Ghanaian businesses men processed the authentic Fufuo/fufu into powdered cassava/plantains /coco yam Fufu powder years ago and sold in markets in America, Canada, Europe, UK and and most western countries because they couldn't pound the Fufu in the mortar with the pestle in those white countries as it's very noisy when pounding they shortened it to be Fufu because fufu in Twi means marsh or mix and eg. is saying in Twi "fufu 3to or fufu Gari Foto", and because of the Fufu powder it became popular among Africans and parts of the Caribbean. So most West and Central Africans started calling almost every powdered doughy food Fufu.
    If you are younger or haven't lived in abroad for a long time you wouldn't even think about the origin of Fufu because the new generations don't necessarily care to know their history much. Hope you researched more on how and why when you see every Fufu powder both in Ghana and abroad, you will see it's a Ghanaian product.
    If you are an Akan, but you are younger or haven't lived in abroad for a long time you wouldn't even think about why it's called both Fufuo/fufu in Ghana because it's been part of you since the day you are born or you maybe younger and just don't know the history.
    I am an Akan and it makes me proud when other people eat my staple food Fufuo/fufu with the liquid soups in the right way but to sabotage and replace it with other doughy foods simply because it looks similar is unacceptable.
    We must learn to give credit to the origination of our foods, our inventions and also give credit to other people's foods and inventions accordingly to give respect to our heritage. That's why there's plagiarism.

    Hi I just wanted to say thank you for your video on how to prepare and make Fufu. I have several friends from Facebook who are from different regions of Africa including Ghana and Nigeria. I just mentioned to one of my long distant brothers, what is very popular there. The one I have most contact with is from Ghana and he said Fufu. So I told him if I come across a video and I really enjoyed your video on everything that goes into making Fufu. I will be letting Benjamin know I have found a recipe I think I can make and dedicate it to him and his family in honour of Africa and the beautiful people who are from there. I immediately Subscribed to your channel before I even sent you this comment. With much Respect... Love and Appreciation Michael Finley from Tucson Arizona USA. Peace from me to all of you. Blessings always.

    We made our fufu in Cuba just with plantains, and then make a sofrito with onions, garlic, and chicharrones on top of it. The casabe ( yuca for us ) we made it the same way but cooked as bread. Inherited from our indigenous Siboneyes, Taínos, and Guanahatebeyes. I would love to try this fufu version 😍
