Encyclopedia > Foufou

Fufu, also spelled foo-foo, foufou, or fu fu, is a staple food of West Africa and Central Africa. It is a thick paste made by boiling some kind of flour in water, stirring vigorously until thick.


In Western Africa, fufu is usually made from yams, sometimes combined with plantains, or from maize. In Central Africa, Fufu is often made from cassava tubers, as is the Liberian dumboy. Fufu can also be made from semolina, rice, or even instant potato flakes.


Similar staples in Sub-Saharan Africa include ugali in East Africa, as well as sadza and mealie pap in Southern Africa, which are usually made from ground maize.
