About Accra
Accra, also known as Akara, is a popular West African fritter made primarily from black-eyed peas or cowpeas. Originating from Nigeria and enjoyed across several African countries, this savory snack is known for its crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. Prepared by blending beans into a paste, seasoning with onions, peppers, and spices, and deep frying, Accra is traditionally served as breakfast, a side dish, or a snack. Rich in protein from the legumes, it provides a nutritious boost, supporting muscle repair and development. The beans also contribute dietary fiber for digestive health. However, since Accra is typically deep-fried, it can be high in fat and calories, especially when consumed in large quantities or with rich accompaniments. For a healthier version, some recipes explore baking or air-frying. Accra is a delicious and filling dish that reflects the vibrant flavors of African cuisine.
