Ingredients

Fermented Maize (Corn), Cassava Dough, Salt, Water.

Four ingredients. That is all.

• 🌽 Fermented Maize (Corn) — naturally fermented whole maize, the soul of authentic banku. That characteristic mildly sour, tangy depth of flavour that makes Ghanaian banku taste like nothing else — developed through proper natural fermentation, not added artificially
• 🌿 Cassava Dough — the stretchy, elastic body of banku. Cassava gives the smooth, cohesive texture that makes banku the perfect swallow — firm enough to shape, soft enough to enjoy, deeply satisfying in every mouthful
• 🧂 Salt — a touch of natural seasoning
• 💧 Water — nothing else

Naturally fermented. No preservatives. No artificial additives.
