Fufu

Cultural Context

Fufu has its roots in West Africa, particularly Ghana, where it is a staple food. Traditionally made by pounding boiled starchy vegetables, fufu is often served with soups and stews, making it a communal dish that brings families together. Today, variations of fufu can be found across Africa and in diaspora communities worldwide, often adapted to include local ingredients.
