After watching the preparation of wasa wasa, few things came to mind. Who started this? Like let me start by peeling yam, get the inside peel, dry it up, pound, then mill, steam, wash six times and the preparation continues. This is Soul Food, Africans we are just special, but work put in is just enormous. Another diamond added to the crown of our African Women, they are the true definition of Super Hero...
Really mind-boggling, maybe Jasmine better lead a delegation to the local chief's palace to get to the bottom of this or find a griot with historical knowledge passed down by word of mouth. Who knows what stories might be dug?? 🤣🤣
These lovely ladies put in an incredible shift with the processing wow!! All the processing yes, gives the desired grain texture and taste but its quite necessary from a food safety point of view I think. Steam cooking alone to get the grain texture they're looking for may be enough to remove all the naturally occuring alkaloid toxins in yam so the repeated processing makes sense. Compare this with the shorter processing time for straightforward boiling of yam in water which removes quite a lot of these natural alkaloid toxins like cyanide and dioscorine etc without the need for further processing. Our ancestors deserve more credit for the food knowledge they passed on than they get 😀. Great video as always Jasmine! 👍🏾
Hi,Jazzy,you must be really tired on this particular trip.I am glad you had a bite of the northern delicacy.I didnt see you eat anything in the previous videos,so i was kinda surprised,but am glad you did.it reminds me of how my mother used to wake up very early everyday,just for us to have something on the TABLE.GOD BLESS OUR MOTHERS ALL OVER THE WORLD.AND GOOD JOB,JAZZY.KEEP IT UP.
Never seen or had this before. Looks very delicious. As usual most of our foods preparations r very labor intensive. Our women are amazing n have to be doubled appreciated. Good job Ama for bringing us such unique contents. Enjoy ur stay in the north. 👍👍👌🏿👏🏾
So informative !! You help us heal from the separation from the Motherland. My haitian Grandmother in law cook something like the lady cook . And used cotton cloth to trap the steam. We are definetely family...👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💐💐💐
The look on your face trying it after waiting 5 hours... Lol.. One could just hear you say.. "why not just make Waakye?" Then you composed yourself saying it's really delicious! Lol Love these food prep videos! I still don't get how anybody can eat something so spicy hot as Shito. Foods look so very delicious in Ghana! All the fresh veggies and the intensity of labor, it does seem made with love and pride! You people are so passionate and awesome!
At first i was wondering if they were coming to make something similar to amala (Nigerian smallow) since they were using a flour based on the inside peel of the yam but then when they started steaming it i was wondering if it was thiakry which is a millet couscous dish in Mali. The the plot twist was that it is served like waakye 😮. I say this to say that our food cultures across west africa are so unique but also share some similar techniques and ingredients. Another note, i would love to hear how you planned your trip up north
Its really amazing to see how people back in the days knew how to make certain dishes. Im sure most of it was for survival but i would never have thought to use yam peel and prepare this. So healthy. So amazing! Africa❤
I don't know how many times I have watched this particular video, two months after, am still watching I find it very interesting this has been my favourite video of yours.Continue with the good work
The team work that goes into the preparation of this meal is phenomenal. This saying really really suits this video and the pottery video, "IT TAKES A VILLAGE ". It's so so amazing to see this awesome work ethics. I so loved your video and your TEAM WORK of producing quality videos is showing me your excellent work ethics. Every next video that you promote, however small shows so so much growth Jasmine and unbiased, I applaud 👏 you and your "VILLAGE ". 👏👏👏👏👏
I’ve been binge watching your channel and these food business women work so hard! I’m exhausted just looking at how hard they work. I have a catering business and I’ll never complain and will only work harder when I see how strong these sisters are. Can’t wait to return to Ghana and spend some time in the north.
Even more interested in this area! The street and their home and shop areas are meticulously clean; something I wonder about in the market places and other areas you’ve shown. Great vlog!
my favorite food,people wait for it so you just have to know the time it will be done which is by 11am or 12 pm .because of the process many people like buying unlike wakye.i know how to cook both but will rather buy wassawasa .
The later stages of the yam peel looks like minced meat as you highlighted. Very informative content triggering awareness too, thank you so much am learning lots here the food will definitely be delicious as it's cooked with firewood, definitely following my bliss thank you so much
Fantastic!!! My mouth was watering just watching 😋 These women work very very hard.. 5 hours of cooking everyday... I take my hat off to them 👏🏾 Thank you jasmine for another educational video... Love it... Keep them coming 😊
Yet another wonderful video Queen/Bliss. All that hard word they put into creating that meal, it's no wonder it tastes so good. Thanks for sharing, Be blessed.
@ Jasmine hello my lovely sister, Wow that take a lot of time and it looks delicious . when I'm cooking my oxtail it take anywhere between five & seven hour's also because "I like them to melt in your mouth. "I appreciate you doing these videos showing the beautiful people, in Ghana working amazing the you much blessings USA New Jersey,💖
Wow! Jasmine that looks so tasty & healthy! It's a miracle it didn't drop from the spoon as you were putting it in your mouth, I so wanted to taste it! Brilliant content, keep up the good work & thanks for sharing.
Hello beautiful Jasmine. This was a video that whetted my appetite 😋. I can't imagine the taste but it looks delicious. I send you, as always, a hug from Mexico 🇲🇽. God bless you and fill you with success. See you soon. 😘😘
I love wassa wassa! I lived in Tamale for 7 years but I never but I never knew this much work went into it. Ps. When you mentioned SakaSaka I got so happy because I was always there and it’s been 7 years since I left Ghana.
Very popular in Northern Ghana where the best yam, "Laribakor", comes from, and is very plentiful. It's really delicious. Similar in taste to Israeli couscous
Wow, this viD🌹,,,FILLED with excitement! I love hearing the Muslim music in background, and Wow, 5hours to prepare, obviously (this dish has a very bright future, menued) in very fine restaurants!).great job putting this altogether!💯💯🥳🌻💛👍💛😃

Way hey!! Food fit for the gods, must be labour of love!! Still I'd like to strangle the inventor!!🤣🤣 Haaba!!🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️
@@andromedab902 seriously I want to know who started all this😂😂
Really mind-boggling, maybe Jasmine better lead a delegation to the local chief's palace to get to the bottom of this or find a griot with historical knowledge passed down by word of mouth. Who knows what stories might be dug?? 🤣🤣
I agree!! What a process!!
Am sure it started during the famine season where they don’t want to waste any part of the yam
African women are one of the most hard working in the world 🌎
This was soo interesting to watch, Wao I’ve never heard of it before. It looks soo good. Thanks for sharing love ❤️
Thanks for being here Sweet ❤️❤️
me too i havent heard of it before
Is so yummy 😋
Sweet AJ,I can show you how to make it from yam to wasawasa😁😁😉.
Mama is here oo💃💃💃
God bless any soul supporting this channel.

This labour is too much,may God.continueto give them the strength
Most Notherners born and raised in south like me never ate it.. we shall eat everything once we get back home
The look on your face trying it after waiting 5 hours... Lol.. One could just hear you say.. "why not just make Waakye?" Then you composed yourself saying it's really delicious! Lol

Loooll shito is delicious 🤣
Not all shito is hot some are mild

I loved Wasaa Wasaa! I grew up in Kumasi Akwatia-line! Near Saabu Zongo! I always went to Saabu Zongo to go get it!
My favorite food when a was a kid growing up.
