About Red red

Red Red is a savory West African dish originating from Ghana, celebrated for its rich flavors and vibrant red hue. Made primarily from black-eyed peas stewed in a tomato-based sauce, it often includes red palm oil, giving it its distinctive color and richness. Common seasonings include onions, garlic, ginger, and peppers, with optional protein additions like fish or plantains for a well-rounded meal. Red Red is high in plant-based protein and fiber, supporting digestion and maintaining energy levels. The antioxidants in tomatoes and nutrient-dense legumes add to its health benefits. However, the use of palm oil, while traditional, is high in saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. As a comforting and nutritious dish, Red Red is a wonderful representation of Ghanaian cuisine, offering a balance of hearty sustenance and bold flavors.
