Fufu/Akpu
Fufu/Akpu is a popular food made from fresh or fermented cassava. The Nigerian version of Fufu is different from Ghana’s: it is however a staple food in both countries. Akpu, properly punctuated as Akpụ in Igbo, is the Igbo word for cassava. Requiring several days to make, Akpu is a wet paste often eaten with Egusi soup.
Akpu is traditionally made by peeling and washing raw cassava until it is white. Left in water for 3–4 days, the cassava ferments and becomes soft. It is then filtered with a porous calabash or sieve. Excess water is quickly drained by pouring the wet paste into a sack, upon which is placed a heavy and flat item (e.g., a plank and brick). The paste is then pounded and molded into large balls and simmered for 30–60 seconds, after which it is thoroughly pounded to remove lumps, molded again into smaller balls, boiled for 10–15 minutes, and then pounded until smooth. It is popular throughout Nigeria, particularly in the East.
