Fufu pounding machine :
About
Fufu (or fufuo, foofoo, foufou) is a Twi term that means “mash or mix” for a soft and doughy delicious staple food in Ghana of all ethnic groups.
A fufu machine is a kitchen appliance used to pound or blend cooked starchy vegetables, particularly cassava, plantains, or yams, into the West and Central African staple food fufu.
Over the years, there have been other inventions of fufu machines which are mostly designed to be grinders. However, a lot of fufu lovers have complained that it doesn’t taste like the ‘real pounded fufu’ for them.
History of the Fufu Machine
The first fufu machine was developed in 2004 by Ghanaian electrical equipment dealer Fadegnom Charles, who produced small numbers of electric fufu machines for local consumption.
Since then the fufu machine has evolved to become a genuine “real pounded fufu” machine that various homes and chop bars can use.
