Cuban Fufu

Cultural Context

Cuban Fufu, a popular dish in Cuba, is made primarily from green plantains and is often served as a starchy side. Traditionally, it reflects the island's African culinary influences, particularly from the Yoruba culture, where fufu is a staple. In modern times, variations exist across the Caribbean and Latin America, adapting to local ingredients and tastes, but the essence of this comforting dish remains cherished in Cuban households.
