About Akara
Akara is a popular West African snack made from black-eyed peas, onions, and spices, typically blended into a smooth batter and deep-fried into golden, crispy fritters. Known for its light and fluffy texture, Akara is especially common in Nigerian and Ghanaian cuisine, often enjoyed as a breakfast item or street food. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber from the black-eyed peas, Akara can be part of a balanced diet. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals like folate, iron, and potassium. However, the frying process means Akara is relatively high in fat and calories, so moderation is key for those watching their intake. When prepared with fresh ingredients and paired with nutrient-rich sides like vegetables or a tomato sauce, Akara offers a flavorful and satisfying option for anyone exploring African-inspired dishes.
