Kenkey

Kenkey is a yummy food that people in Ghana, a country in Africa, eat. It looks like a round ball or a doughnut made from cornmeal or ground-up corn that has been mixed with water and left to ferment for a while.

Fermenting means that the cornmeal is left to sit for a long time and starts to change. This change is caused by tiny living things called bacteria that grow in the cornmeal. These bacteria can turn the cornmeal sour, just like how a sour candy tastes.

After the cornmeal has been fermented, it is cooked by boiling it in water. When it's done, the kenkey is soft and squishy, kind of like bread or a dumpling. People usually eat it with soup, stew, or sauce, which makes it tastier.

Kenkey is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, like carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, which are good for the body. It is a popular and traditional food in Ghana and other nearby countries, and people enjoy eating it with their hands!
