Description

Labadi Kenkey – 2 Balls (800g) | Authentic Ga Fermented Corn Dumpling | Fresh Ghanaian Kenkey | Ready to Heat

From the heart of Accra’s coast — the original Ga Kenkey, freshly made and delivered to your UK door 🇬🇧

Kenkey is Ghana’s most iconic street food. Not fufu. Not jollof. Kenkey. That firm, slightly sour, deeply satisfying fermented corn dumpling that has been feeding Accra’s coastal communities for centuries. The food that the Ga people call Komi. The food that comes wrapped in corn husks or foil, served with fresh pepper, fried fish, shrimp, or shito — and eaten with your hands the way it was always meant to be eaten.

Labadi Kenkey takes its name from La Labadi — one of Accra’s most beloved coastal neighbourhoods, home to some of Ghana’s finest and most authentic Kenkey makers. This is Ga Kenkey the real way — fermented corn dough, cooked until firm and deeply flavoured, wrapped and ready to heat and serve.

Two generous balls per pack. 800g total. Enough for a proper Ghanaian meal.

Key Ingredients

Fermented White Corn Dough, Water, Sea Salt.

• 🌽 Fermented White Corn Dough — whole white maize, naturally fermented using the traditional Ga method that gives Kenkey its characteristic mildly sour, tangy, deeply earthy flavour — the flavour that no dry mix or powder can fully replicate. The fermentation process develops the corn’s natural complexity and makes the dough significantly more digestible than unfermented corn
• 💧 Water — used in the cooking process
• 🧂 Sea Salt — a touch of natural seasoning

How to Heat

🫙 In boiling water (recommended): Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the Kenkey balls (in their wrapping) into the boiling water. Heat for 15 minutes until thoroughly warmed through. Remove, unwrap, and serve immediately

🍽️ In the microwave: Remove the outer wrapping. Place on a microwave-safe plate. Heat on medium setting for 4–5 minutes until piping hot throughout. Check and turn halfway through. Allow to stand for 1 minute before serving

How to Serve

Kenkey is traditionally served whole — break off pieces with your fingers and dip or pair with your chosen accompaniments. The slightly sour flavour of Kenkey is the perfect counterpart to the bold heat of fresh pepper sauce and the richness of fried or smoked fish.

Serve With 🐟 Fried Tilapia & Fresh Pepper Sauce — the classic Ga pairing 🦐 Shrimp & Fresh Pepper — the Labadi favourite 🥚 Omelette — the quick everyday combination 🫙 Shito (Ghanaian Black Pepper Sauce) — the ultimate condiment 🐟 Smoked/Dried Fish & Onions — traditional and deeply satisfying 🥫 Sardines & Fresh Tomato — the everyday essential 🥗 Garden egg stew — a vegetarian classic
