As the pestle moved up and down, it crushed the plantain and cassava into a smooth consistency, which would later be eaten as fufu.

According to reports, this fufu pounding machine was built in Ghana by the Casa De Ropa Potato processing factory.

Even though there are fufu machines in the Ghanaian market, many people complain that the fufu processed in the grinder does not taste like the real pounded fufu.
