Fufu eaters

TikTok Introduces Millions of Viewers To Fufu
Though I haven’t quite been sold on the whole
TikTok thing yet, the bite-sized video app is
doing wonders for spreading knowledge of Black
food history, sharing the joy in discovering the
marvels of Asian food, and yes, showing us dubious
things like tortilla wrap hacks. Now it’s
introducing the Internet to the West African
staple, fufu. PRI’s The World has a primer.

Fufu is a spongy dough made of cassava, white
yams, or plantains, and it’s eaten primarily
with lunch and dinner. But this isn’t an easy
food to make: it takes some muscle. “It’s
elbow work,” Ghanaian-American chef and former
Top Chef contestant Eric Adjepong told The World.
“Whether you’re using cassava or plantain or a
combination of both, they have to be steamed. And
then, you have to work the dough.”
