Akara

Akara is a yummy snack made with black-eyed peas that are blended into a paste with onions, spice, and sometimes pepper (but not too spicy). The paste is then deep fried in little balls to make crispy fritters that are usually served hot. Think of them like small, crispy, savory donuts that are healthy and tasty. They're popular in many parts of West Africa, and you'll often find them sold on the street or in markets. Akara is a great source of protein and fiber, which are both really important for helping our bodies grow big and strong. So, if you're feeling hungry and want a tasty, nutritious snack, give akara a try!
