Fufu is a nutritious and energy-dense staple food popular in many African countries. Made from starchy ingredients like cassava, yams, or plantains, fufu is rich in carbohydrates, providing a great source of sustained energy. It is also gluten-free, making it suitable for people with gluten sensitivities.  When paired with soups and stews rich in vegetables and proteins, fufu forms a balanced meal that supports overall health and well-being.
