AKARA AND BREAD.

AKARA AND BREAD.

The Delicious Duo: Akara and Bread.

Akara and bread is a popular street food in Nigeria, especially in the southwestern region of the country. Akara, also known as bean cake, is made by frying a mixture of ground black-eyed peas, onions, and spices until it forms a crispy, golden brown patty. It is typically eaten with bread, which provides a contrast of texture and flavor.

Akara and bread is often enjoyed as a breakfast or snack, and is commonly served by street vendors known as “mama put,” who operate small stalls or food carts in markets, bus stations, and other public areas.

The combination of akara and bread is not only tasty but also nutritious, providing a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. The black-eyed peas in the akara are an excellent source of protein, and the bread provides complex carbohydrates for sustained energy throughout the day.
