OJODU, Ogun, Nigeria – Fufu is a local staple food used to eat soup mostly in the Southern part of Nigeria. Made from soaked cassava, it is used to eat soup the same way eba, starch, pounded yam are used to eat any suitable local soup.
It is usually served with eguisi, banga, ewedu, afan soup, vegetable soup and other suitable soup. It is heavy and fills the stomach much like other heavy staple foods.
Besides, the way it is packed, fully cooked or half-cooked makes it the preference among many in the Southern part of Nigeria, mostly among the Yorubas.
But quite often, consumers often do not bother about the source of the fufu they consume and the environment under which it is produced.
We bring you photographs of our encounter in Ojodu – Abiodun, a boundry community in Ogun State where your local fufu is produced.
