Kenkey
Kenkey is a traditional Ghanaian dish made from fermented corn dough. The corn is soaked, ground, and then cooked to create a smooth, thick paste. This paste is wrapped in corn husks or leaves and steamed, resulting in a firm, slightly sour flavor. Kenkey is often served with various accompaniments, such as pepper sauce, fish, or vegetables.
This staple food is particularly popular in coastal regions of Ghana, where it is enjoyed as a daily meal. Kenkey is rich in carbohydrates and provides energy, making it a vital part of the local diet. It is commonly eaten during celebrations and gatherings, showcasing its cultural significance.
