Fufu is a pounded meal found in West African cuisine, and it is a staple food in West and Central Africa. It is made by boiling starchy root vegetables and then mashing them into a dough-like consistency. The ingredients used to make fufu vary depending on the region, but they often include cassava, yams, and plantains. Other starchy vegetables that can be used to make fufu include oat flour, maize, wheat, corn, rice, or semolina. The traditional method of making fufu involves boiling the starchy vegetable and then pounding it with a mortar and pestle to create the dough. However, the modern way to make it is with a food processor. Fufu is usually served with different types of soups or stews, such as Ogbono, Egusi, Efo riro, or peanut stew. It is a swallow with a neutral taste that is easy to swallow and doesn’t require chewing, so it is a food that all ages can enjoy together.
