What is Fufu?

Made from boiled and pounded starchy food crops like plantains, cassava and yams, this is a West African (and Caribbean) staple.

Fufu compliments any soup or stew, especially those of West African descent, such as light soup (nkrakra), palm nut soup (abenkwan), green vegetable soup (abun abun), egusi soup and more. Not only is this delicious food low in cholesterol, it’s also rich in fiber and potassium.
