Overview
About the event
National Fufu Day on August 11. This day honors fufu as it takes its place among the world�??s most iconic cuisines. Coinciding with West Africa�??s traditional yam festival, which takes place every year in August, the region�??s rainy season is the perfect time to celebrate this wonderful finger food.
The traditional recipe for fufu uses true yams, which are boiled and then pounded in a wooden mortar and pestle until a smooth and sticky dough is formed. The tart and sour flavor of pounded starches pair well with full-bodied and well-seasoned meat and vegetable dishes.
