Fufu is a dough-like food found in West African cuisine. It is by far the favorite meal of the indegingous Ghanaian. In Ghana it is eaten with a very sumptuous Palm, Light, Groundnut and any hearty soup.
It is said that Fufu has low cholesterol, rich in fiber, potassium and resistant starch, which feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut and may help reduce inflammation and promote digestive health, and contains vitamin C.
To this end, Island 69, located in the Atimpoku – Adome enclave near Akosombo with a scenic view of the Adome Bridge has for almost a year developed an occasional event to celebrate the cuisine.
Fufu Communion 1.0 and 2.0 were organized successfully on the island where attendees
were treated to a three day different varieties of fufu (cassava, yam, plantain and coco yam).
Attendees also had on the menu various local Ghanaian dishes from banku, kokonte, kenkey, among others; but chief amongst the dishes was our all tribes-friendly Fufu.
Swimming, hiking, jams, movie night, tour on the Volta lake, among a few other events were organized to make attendees stay on the island fun filled.
