In this video I spend a day in the life with a Ghanaian street food seller by the name of Aunty Mary, aka Daavi. She sells banku and okro along with ripe plantains and beans on a daily basis. Both foods are considered popular african foods as you will find them in more than one part of Africa. She starts cooking about 6am, and continues to sell to about 9-10pm monday to friday in her African food shop. This type of small business is common on this side of Africa.
I hope this video gives you a glimpse into real life in Ghana and into the African food culture as well. Enjoy xx

Oh those beautiful mixed colors of the onions, peppers and ginger... It's like Art! I love okra! Just watching, makes me so hungry!! You Ghanaians are very lucky to eat food so fresh and healthy! I really admire the cookware also including that paddle used to stir the Banku. (its like a small oar! Lol) I have so many friends in Ghana that I know if I visit, I'll avoid much of the tourist destinations. These videos show the life I want to experience first hand. Nhyira Nyame Ghana!

@@DomTVGHHD I'm Blessed by still having my mother who just turned 88 yrs old and I'm her primary caretaker. At 60, I'm no Spring Chicken myself lol. Though I'm quite poor here by US standards, I use most of my spare money helping my kids in Ghana. I say kids but they are young men and a few young ladies between 25 to 32 yrs old who call me Dad. I never had kids so these people, I truly love! It's their lives I'm invested in but, I've developed a yearning to experience Ghana first hand. Now, I watch many videos from Jasmine Ama, Amaka at SkyBelle , Wode Maya, Stella Shannley, Queen Tilly, Deborah at 123Twi, Judith at JuujuGH, etc plus Several Cooking Channels... They are all driving my utter OBSESSION to visit Ghana. To each of them for inspiring my LOVE, I say regardless of any financial hardships I experience, I am the one who is truly Blessed! Though, I'm not there in person, I am without doubt, "Following my Bliss". Medaase to you for your kind invitation!

@godfreyaprakubonsu8766 3 года назад

It is very hygienic the way she portions out the (banku),but I am a bit concerned of plastic melting off because it is a bit too hot.

@karleinegraham8682 3 года назад

Fanning the fire at 3:30 (for my grandma) took me back to childhood. In 🇯🇲 Jamaica, we say slicing (not chopping) the plantains. Daavi and her helper work very hard to make a small living not a lucrative one. Put on your Accounting hat: sales less expenses equals profit. Expense includes cost of goods, labor costs to acquire from the market and prepare(cook) goods for sales. I admire these hardworking ladies who are very clean in preparation of food and an integral part of making 🇬🇭 Ghana work.

The green leafy veg (Gboma) is African eggplant. Several cultivars of Solanum macrocarpon are cultivated in Ghana, where they are mainly grown for their fruit and less so for their leaves. The names given to these cultivars are either those under which they were known by farmers or named after the village where they were found. Fruits and leaves of ‘Gboma’, ‘Mankessim’, ‘Akwaseho’ and ‘Kade’ are consumed, whereas of ‘Sarpeiman’ and ‘Bui’ only fruits are eaten.

@ednaclottey 3 года назад

@Kw33nYv3 2 года назад

We Ewes call spinach or a type of it, Gboma and that's what she is using. We use it for okro soup, Gbomadetsi (palava sauce, spinach sauce, egusi or whatever you want to call it,) etc. Idk if it's the leaf/leaves of eggplant or garden eggs though. I remember seeing it on a farm at the back of my Grandma's house when I was a kid, but it was just the leaves by themselves and no "fruits" or anything else growing on it.

Great works Jasmine! I realised you said you have never eaten Gboma before. It is very nutritious. In addition to okro, palmnut or groundnut soup, I use it in my omelette, and in stews for rice and yam. I just add it to the tomatoes stew. I usually do not let it to overcook as the woman did. For the soups and stews, you can add it and take it off the fire to make it stay green and retain as much of the nutrients as possible. I live in Germany, but I brought the seeds with me and have planted it in my room garden. You should try it.
