Ghana Pride Banku Mix - 600g | Authentic Fermented Corn & Cassava Ready-to-Cook Banku Flour
Cook with pride. Eat with pride. Ghana's most iconic swallow — delivered to your UK door 🇬🇧
Banku is not just a meal. It is a statement. It says: I know where I come from. It says: I eat real food. It says: tonight, we are eating properly.
The name says it all — Ghana Pride. This is banku made the right way, from the right ingredients, carrying the full weight of Ghanaian culinary tradition in every packet. Fermented corn. Cassava. The two ingredients that have fed Ghana's coastal communities for generations — the Ga, the Ewe, the Fante — and now travel with the diaspora wherever they go, including right here in the UK.
Ghana Pride Banku Mix does what the best Ghanaian food always does — keeps things honest. Pre-fermented, pre-blended, ready to cook. No soaking, no grinding, no five days of waiting. Just open the pack, add water, and cook the banku your family deserves.
Key Ingredients
Fermented Corn Dough and Cassava Dough — the authentic two-ingredient heart of traditional Ghanaian banku, pre-fermented and milled into a convenient ready-to-cook flour.
- 🌽 Fermented Corn (Maize) Dough — the soul of every authentic banku. The fermentation process gives banku its distinctive mildly sour, tangy flavour that no other swallow can replicate. It also helps break down natural starches and fibres, making the corn more digestible and nutritionally available
- 🌿 Cassava Dough — the body of the banku. Cassava adds the stretchy, elastic, cohesive texture that makes banku the perfect swallow — smooth enough to shape, firm enough to hold, and satisfying enough to fill you properly
What It Delivers
✅ Authentic Ghanaian fermented corn and cassava flavour — the real taste, no shortcuts ✅ Ready-to-cook convenience — no soaking, no fermenting, no grinding at home ✅ Naturally gluten-free — corn and cassava contain no gluten ✅ Naturally vegan — 100% plant-based ingredients ✅ Rich in complex carbohydrates — a sustaining energy source that keeps you full ✅ Good source of dietary fibre — from both the corn and cassava ✅ No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives ✅ Made in Ghana 🇬🇭 — with Ghanaian ingredients, for Ghanaian pride
How to Prepare
- Add Ghana Pride Banku Mix to a bowl with enough cold water to form a completely smooth, lump-free paste — stir thoroughly before applying any heat
- Pour the paste into a saucepan of boiling water, stirring continuously with a sturdy wooden spoon or ladle
- Cook on medium heat, stirring and "driving" the banku constantly — this continuous motion is what builds the smooth, stretchy, elastic texture
- Add salt to taste and cook until the banku pulls cleanly away from the sides of the pot — approximately 15–20 minutes
- Scoop portions into a wet bowl, shape into smooth balls, and serve hot immediately
Tip: Banku firms up as it cools — cook it slightly softer than your final preferred consistency if not serving right away.
Serve With 🐟 Grilled Tilapia & Fresh Pepper Sauce | Okra Soup (Fetri Detsi) | Groundnut Soup | Palm Nut Soup | Light Soup | Tomato Stew | Sardines & Shito
