Plantain Fufu 4kg Afroase
Product Overview Plantain Fufu flour is a traditional West African staple made from finely milled plantains (often blended with complementary flours) that cooks into a smooth, dough-like consistency known as fufu — a classic carbohydrate accompaniment to soups, sauces and stews like egusi, okra, peanut or light soups. It’s widely consumed in Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon and other African countries. Origin This plantain fufu mix is sold under the Afroase brand and typically sourced or packaged for export from Ghana/West Africa, where fufu is a traditional cultural food. Afroase products are stocked by international African grocery retailers. Ingredients The base ingredient is plantain flour derived from dried and milled plantains. Depending on specific blend formulations (varies by pack), it may include: Plantain flour (primary) Cassava flour or other starchy flours (sometimes blended for texture) No major artificial additives are standard — refer to your pack label for exact ingredients.

Usage Instructions Boil water in a pot until steaming/hot. Pour flour gradually into the hot water while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook and stir until the mixture becomes smooth, thick and elastic (classic fufu texture). Shape with a spoon or wet hands into balls or portions. Serve hot alongside your favourite African soups or stews. This instant style is much quicker to prepare than traditional pounded fufu (which uses boiled plantains mashed by hand).
