FUFU, A WEST AFRICAN STAPLE
INTERNATIONAL FUFU DAY
International Fufu Day, inspired by the 2021 publication of "The Art of Fufu," is observed annually on August 11, commencing in 2022.
Fufu is a West African dish with cultural significance and traditions created by using cassava, yams, plantains, or cornmeal and pounding the ingredients to a smooth, dough-like consistency. Many West African and Caribbean restaurants offer authentic fufu dishes paired with traditional soups, such as egusi or okra stew.
Fufu Day's role aligns with the traditional West African yam harvest festival. The holiday promotes cross-cultural exchange and honors traditions that unite communities both domestically and internationally.
International Fufu Day is particularly popular with West African diaspora communities and food enthusiasts, making it a celebration of heritage and taste.
