I-Fufu (kuquka igama le-foofoo variant, i-foufou, i-fufufuo) kukutya okusisiseko kumazwe amaninzi e-Afrika nakwi-Caribbean.Ikholisa ukwenziwa ngomgubo wecassava kwaye inokutshintshwa ngumgubo orhaxaxa okanye umgubo wombona.Isenokwenziwa nangokubiliswa kwezityalo zokutya ezinesitatshi ezifana nebhatata okanye iibhanana eziphekiweyo kwaye zicutywe zibe yintlama efana nokufana.
Icassava yaziswa eBrazil eAfrika ngoosomashishini abangamaPhuthukezi ngenkulungwane ye-16.EGhana, ngaphambi kokuba kuqaliswe icassava, ifufu yayisebenzisa iyam.Kwezinye iimeko, zenziwe ngeebhanana eziphekiweyo.ENigeria naseCameroon, ifufu imhlophe kwaye incangathi (umzekelo, iplantain ayixutywa necassava xa inefuthe).Indlela eqhelekileyo yokutya ifufu kukucinezela iqhekeza lefufu ebholeni ngeminwe yesandla sasekunene somntu, uze ulifake kwisuphu uze uyiginye.
IFufu eneneni isuka kwiqela lesizwe lase-Asante eGhana, elafunyanwa laze latshintshwa ngabaphambukeli abavela eNigeria, eTogo naseC ô te d'Ivoire.INigeria iyibiza ngokuba yifufufuo, enentsingiselo ezimbini: enye "imhlophe", ebizwa ngokuba yifufuo ngolu lwimi lwesizwe, kwaye enye kukuba indlela yokuvelisa (tamping) ibizwa ngokuba yiFu Fu.Le yimvelaphi yegama elithi fufu.
IFUFU sesinye sezidlo zemveli zaseAfrika kwaye kuthandwa kakhulu ngabantu basekuhlaleni.Ngokuqhelekileyo kwenziwa ngesandla, kwaye nangona kubonakala kulula ukupheka, luvavanyo lwezakhono zokuvelisa umpheki, kwaye ubugcisa bokupheka buhlala bumisela ngokuthe ngqo inqanaba layo elimnandi.I-COOR inxibelelana ngokupheleleyo nabathengi abavela e-Afrika, iimfuno zabathengi ezidityanisiweyo kunye nemikhwa yabathengi baseAfrika, kwaye iyile umatshini wokupheka weFUFU okrelekrele ngokupheleleyo.
Ngokusebenzisa imvelaphi yophando olunzulu kunye nophando lomsebenzisi, i-COOR yakhupha amanyathelo okupheka e-FUFU emveli yaseAfrika, kwaye yaphucula ngokuyila okukrelekrele, ngokuqwalasela iinkcukacha zoyilo kunye nokusebenza okubonakalayo kwemveliso ngokwembono yomsebenzisi, kwaye ekugqibeleni uyilwe lo matshini weFUFU.
Ubume be-Sleek, imigca ethambileyo kunye nemibala elula yimpawu zalo mshini weFUFU.Imigca ethambileyo nenobubele, echukumisa ngokufudumeleyo kwaye engqukuva, ngokuchaseneyo nobuncinci obumnyama kunye nesilivere, yenze uyilo lonke lube netyuwa kwaye lubeswiti, izisa abasebenzisi ukonwaba okungapheliyo xa bepheka.Abasebenzisi badinga kuphela ukugalela izithako ezilungiselelwe kunye namanzi kumatshini, ukuseta iiparamitha, kwaye ke banokufumana iFUFU emnandi.Ikhulula ngokupheleleyo izandla zabasebenzisi, iphucula ngokufanelekileyo umgangatho wobomi babathengi baseAfrika, kwaye ibonelela abasebenzisi ngolwazi olukrelekrele ngakumbi, itekhnoloji kunye nokupheka okulula.
