Fresh Fufu/Akpu

Fufu/Akpu is a staple food that is widely consumed in many African countries, particularly in West and Central Africa. It is a dough-like meal made by boiling and pounding starchy foods such as cassava, yam, or plantains. The process involves boiling the chosen starchy food until it's soft, then pounding it until it forms a smooth dough.
Fufu is usually served with a variety of soups and sauces, such as okra soup, groundnut soup, or Egusi (Melon) soup. 
Countries that consume fufu as a staple food include Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, and many others across the African continent. Despite its African origins, fufu has also gained popularity in other parts of the world due to African diaspora communities.
