Fufu (White Elubo)

$30.00

Fufu is a beloved traditional African staple food made from starchy ingredients like cassava, plantains, or yams, prepared by mixing flour with hot water to form a smooth, dough-like consistency. This versatile dish is a cornerstone of West and Central African cuisine, often paired with rich, flavorful soups like groundnut soup, light soup, or egusi soup for a hearty and satisfying meal. Fufu is not only gluten-free but also a great source of carbohydrates, making it an excellent energy-boosting food. Its mild taste and soft texture allow it to perfectly complement bold, spicy, or savory soups and stews.

Fufu/White Elubo

Our premium white elubo produces soft, non-sticky fufu that pairs perfectly with soups like egusi, okra, or light soup. The flour is carefully sun-dried and milled to preserve nutrients while eliminating bitterness. Unlike instant fufu mixes, traditional elubo requires kneading in hot water to achieve the right elastic texture.

To Prepare

Preparing fufu is quick and easy, especially when using instant fufu powder, a convenient alternative to traditional methods. To make perfect fufu, boil water and gradually stir in the fufu powder until it forms a thick, smooth dough. Knead lightly to achieve the right consistency, soft, stretchy, and lump-free. For the best experience, pair your fufu with African soups like okra soup, palm nut soup, or egusi soup for an authentic taste. To eat, pinch a small piece of fufu, roll it into a ball, dip it into the soup, and swallow without chewing, this is the traditional way! Fufu is a gluten-free, filling, and nutritious meal, rich in carbohydrates and fiber, making it ideal for a balanced diet.
