Good presentation, so much useful information. Peeling the cassava and simply soak in water for days will yield the same result of fermentation. For folks away from the homeland, you can simply peel your cassava or yuca, soak it in water for days, blend it in a very good blender without so much water, and straight to your cooking pot. Cassava is a calorie-rich vegetable that contains plenty of carbohydrates and key vitamins and minerals. Cassava is a good source of vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin. The leaves, which are also edible if a person cooks them or dries them in the sun, can contain up to 25% protein. But please nail is very dangerous! I know God is protecting us, although our ancestors are always very meticulous about food preparations. Rusty nails can be bad, remember this: The rusting process of a nail speeds up considerably when it is in certain types of liquids. Water removes electrons from iron, leaving it positively charged. Oxygen then reacts to the positively charged iron and creates ferrous oxide. Love your video.
Wow so interesting, u all are really hard working pple l really love this l want to work like this cos when one is working like this no difficulties in life yes God we thank you
Nne eeh you are just showing us this process as if it was easy but chalie e no easy at all oooo. This is very educative for this our new generation that doesn't know the struggle. Nne dalu so
Wow, I am glad you love our lifestyles and foods. You are welcome to the family. You can also watch my playlist on village vlogs here ua-cam.com/play/PLiX01P0NvqMo4KXM2LIE2W40UfDuPky8b.html
Great tutorial video...love it❤❤ We do it a little differently in Liberia 🇱🇷. Dig the cassava. Peel. Cut into smallerpieces. Bag it up...you can improvise any bag (including plastic bags). Tie the bag up. Place the bag outside on something (so it's not laid on the floor). After a week or so, open the bag and pour the contents in a container. Pound it in a mortar. Empty the pounded fermented cassava into a bowl. Add water and sifter...the consistency determines how thick or hard your FUFU will turn out to be. GB...naa...I will need a whole day to walk you thru the process🇱🇷🤝🏾
ahh sister bless you and your mother for showing me this process. My great aunt used to make his for us when I was a child, My wife now wants to learn this. We will let you know when we make our batch of Fufu. God bless you and your family.
This is well explained. Making cassava fufu really take a long process and if you skip any of this step you showed us, you will not achieve this authentic fufu. Well done to you and mum
See the way mum is peeling the Cassava like is not difficult, the process is not easy at all, I think this method is better, I have never done that before so I can’t say what’s use to cover it, but I will sure try that when am back home, thanks so much for sharing sis
This is a well detailed video. I can't even remember how we do this but I know we used to cover it and maybe open it in the afternoon so that it doesn't smell bad.. I don't remember sha😀
Got few cassava from my garden and wanted to make akpu for the first time in my life by myself. And was searching on Internet where I got on your page. On all yours was the best presententation. Please remove the nail & akanwu and that's all. Your blog is real with the village vibes. May God give you a lovely husband Welldone! God bless you richly Thank you
Beautiful demonstration, I learnt a lot. am watching from PNG. I am planning to do this because of the nutritional aspect of the fermentation on cassava.
Great job doing this and showing people how to make cassava fufu from the scratch. Please don’t add nails, lime, Akanwu to cassava water during fermentation. Only water needed. Fermentation is a biological process and selects for the appropriate microbes that will do the fermentation. Adding lime drives the pH of the water in the acidic range and that will disrupt the balance of the pH of the water and will limit some microbes. Nails can be made of different metals and you do not want to introduce that as toxic substances can leach out. The akanwu is a softening agent and is also not needed as biology will do its job. Adding those three things messes with the microbial flora of your water and that can create undesirable fermentation products. Our ancestors did this without those things added. Let nature do the job.
Thank you so much for this. I actually added those because firstly the casssava wasn't fresh; it was bought from the market and secondly the time frame for the end product so that the customer can get his goods. But in all I understand that it is better like you wrote to leave everything to nature so as to get the best which of course my mum does all the time but I had to do this quickly so as to be done with the supply and return back to my studies. Thank you so much once again🙏.
We don't use any leaf to cover our own,i heared that is the cassava that has stay so long that why you use nail or leaf.i love to wash that ferminted akpu weldone sis for helping Mama.
You are right. Firstly I needed to make the Fifi at exactly 4days and I bought it from the market so I needed to put all those since the cassava wasn't fresh
They way I know how we prepare and the way u guys prepare it a bit different but anyways I have share it to my daughter cause she like eating cassava fufu..
Wow, I really enjoy watching you make this.. Every stuff Nile step!! The nails got me thinking I’ve never heard of this but hey I’m here to learn THANK YOU!! I’m subbing and thumbs up and leaving my comments..❤️🙏🏼
This is so lovely and homely too ❤, Great job mum and great job to u sis but we dat live abroad can't get all these processes. Is dere any shorter way to prepare fufu cos me I love fufu o
Cut the cassava into smaller pieces after washing. Add yeast of one tea spoon to water in a large basin and stir, or add warm water. This will help it to ferment. Ensure entire cassava in completely sock in water. Poor out the entire water every two days and add yeast or warm water again to resume fermatation. Once you have change the water like trice it will help to reduce the smell from the fermented cassava. Keep cassava in a sunny place keep the temperature warm as it helps in fermentation. By sixth day you can wash the cassava and crush with or grind in machine. Next put the crush cassava in a basin and press down to thicken and add water to it Or store in a salt bag and keep in freezer you must have press out the water. Changing the water help reduce cyanide poison in cassava. Making fun is much easier than Akpu. Akpu entires cooking several times and pounding which many don't have that time.
I fermented cassava in my area in which I live on several occasions but I found it difficult in fermenting, please give me more ideas fermenting any type of cassava
Thank you so much for watching. Now to your question, make sure it is freshly harvested cassava that you are fermenting, then let it stay in a clean water without you putting your hands inside and I believe at most within 5-7days it will ferment.
That was a great one there... Just a little question here, is it possible to turn the fufu on fire rather than cooking and pounding it? As there is definitely no mortar where I reside oooo..
The nails will help in fermentation if you are using cassava tubers that have stayed so long especially under the sun like the ones I bought from the market but if your cassava tubers are fresh there is really no need for adding/using anything aside clean water
I am doubting putting nails during farmention,what about that rast caused by nails being in water for seven days????? I rest my case,I can never try neither😢
As I specified in the video that is the process I was told to use because of the cassava that was bought from the market. It wasn't fresh and the condition wasn't known and it's to fasten the fermentation process. Do yours as you seem fit. If you want to make fufu, just get a freshly harvested fufu and soak inside a clean water only and it will ferment just in 2 days. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for watching. I just showed how people ferment their cassava and I gave reason(s) for everything added which may not go down well with every one of even me because it is meant to capture different method. Nails are no no because of its content even though it was shown here but there are no nails in the fufu packaged that will rust as you presumed.
If it is a freshly harvested cassava then it ferments even in 3 days but cassava that is bought from the market with long days post harvest definitely stays longer before fermentation. This video is to illustrate that just as I mentioned. Some cassava is harvested on a burnt farm so all those additions are necessary unless you want it to stay for 7-8days before fermentation. Thanks for watching.❤
Nothing is wrong with it. It is just that it is cassava leaves that was available for me to use. Any clean leaves that is not bitter or that does not give off colour can be used.
I needed to come to my ancestors. The real authentic way. Thanks for the video.

I like afrika food
Awwww🥰
Thank you so much for liking our foods
This is so lovely and homely too ❤, Great job mum and great job to u sis but we dat live abroad can't get all these processes. Is dere any shorter way to prepare fufu cos me I love fufu o
I will try to create a shorter process anytime I have the chance. My exams is almost close🙏
@@GraciousTales ok thank you
We use plantain leave to cover it.at for the waste we give it to the goat or use it as manure.
Wow, thanks for watching ma

We call fufu as piyutu here in our place zamboanga city
Wow💃
It is nice getting to have you here.
Do you follow the same process of production or is it different?
do you think it is nice shewing your shewing stick while preparing food ?
Enjoy your akpu mbok

I just feel like eating hot akpu with correct vegetable soup.
Is Akpu not available there sis?
It's the fufu flour but it can never be like the main Akpu🤣
@@JaachyDigo I understand now🤣
The cassava peels can be poured in the garden to increase the soil value
You are absolutely right. Thanks for watching.
What is the function of the nails?
To aid in the fermentation process. Thank you so much for watching ma🙏
❤
Thanks for watching.
You should tell the difference between the casava, madam. Meaning, how to prepare the bitter ones. From the sweet ones. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching
I wish i could teach mama how to peel this casava quickly stress free
Thank you so much for watching.
We give them chaf to goat. Goat meal na
🤣🤣🤣
I'm wayching
Thanks for watching.
Why didn’t you finish the last process. When you bring it and pound, will you mould it from the mortar and boil again?
My dear, the video will be long but the remaining process is in another video. How I became an Akpu seller for my mum. You can check that out.
Is it compulsory to put something to aid the fermentation?
Because from what I can remember, my aunty doesn't put any leaf or nail.
Not really dear. It becomes necessary when the cassava is not fresh like the one I bought from the market but if it is freshly from the farm then no
@@GraciousTales Ohh Okay 😊
Where is you eating fufu? I want to see it and what kind of soup do you make to eat with fufu?
Thank you so much for watching.
That was a great one there... Just a little question here, is it possible to turn the fufu on fire rather than cooking and pounding it? As there is definitely no mortar where I reside oooo..
Yes of course and stay tuned also because I will soon upload a no pound, no smell fufu video. Thank you so much for watching sir
Thanks for the prompt response, hoping to try your pounded fufu anytime I travel down.
@@anthonylucas7006 No problem sir even though I know that the women around you won't allow you to pound fufu o🤣🤣🤣
@@GraciousTales you made a mistake there oooo, I do my cooking all by myself, thanks to my Mum's training, May her soul rest in peace.
@@anthonylucas7006 I am sorry about your mum. You may do your cooking but I am so sure that no one will see you pounding fufu and allow you to🤷

Do you make cassava syrup, if so please show how.
Thanks for watching.
@@GraciousTales okay THANKS
Am Kenyan was wondering why you placed nails
The nails will help in fermentation if you are using cassava tubers that have stayed so long especially under the sun like the ones I bought from the market but if your cassava tubers are fresh there is really no need for adding/using anything aside clean water
What if i don't have those leaves
The leaves are just to provide cover and prevent dirt so you can do away with it If you are not keeping it in a place dirt can be easily drawn to it.
@@GraciousTales okey. Thank you so much
I am doubting putting nails during farmention,what about that rast caused by nails being in water for seven days????? I rest my case,I can never try neither😢
As I specified in the video that is the process I was told to use because of the cassava that was bought from the market. It wasn't fresh and the condition wasn't known and it's to fasten the fermentation process. Do yours as you seem fit.
If you want to make fufu, just get a freshly harvested fufu and soak inside a clean water only and it will ferment just in 2 days.
Thank you for watching.
Wastes from cassava here in Uganda are used in Brickets making
Really? That is a good means of recycling. Thank you so much for watching.
I use the waste to feed our goats
I hope you are feeding that my fattest goat well o🙄
Why are you adding nails: which is going is to rust inside your food package. In fact your recipe is too muchooo 😄💯
Thanks for watching.
I just showed how people ferment their cassava and I gave reason(s) for everything added which may not go down well with every one of even me because it is meant to capture different method.
Nails are no no because of its content even though it was shown here but there are no nails in the fufu packaged that will rust as you presumed.
A easy way to do it u don't have to sit it in water 4-5 just boil it
Wow ok thank you
Give it to the chickens, if they like it but be careful you don't poison them
Wow, ok
What else can i use if i don't have a muffin bag
You can use any bag that can allow water to sieve through or a basket or sieve that diameter is not too large
I cover mine with only the buckets cover and it ferments completely in 4 days. I don't add lime or kanwa
If it is a freshly harvested cassava then it ferments even in 3 days but cassava that is bought from the market with long days post harvest definitely stays longer before fermentation.
This video is to illustrate that just as I mentioned. Some cassava is harvested on a burnt farm so all those additions are necessary unless you want it to stay for 7-8days before fermentation.
Thanks for watching.❤
Oh. I see. I missed this information when I watched it the first time.
What is wrong with using banana leaves
Nothing is wrong with it. It is just that it is cassava leaves that was available for me to use. Any clean leaves that is not bitter or that does not give off colour can be used.
😅😅😅
Thank you for having a good laugh.
Can the water be used to make porridge
No please, the water can be used to produce starch
