| - The Ghanaian cuisine is very much influenced by the natural possessions and surroundings of Ghana and by the local climate of the country. Ghana is situated on the West coast of Central Africa and its relief is mainly a wide field and a high plateau. The existence of many rivers and lakes, the tropical, warm and rainy weather, lead to a great evolution of the agriculture. Ghana is a country covered in plantations and it is the third global producer of cocoa. Also, the coconut trees, coffee and various fruit plantations are very often. Besides these, fishing is a main activity in Ghana and that is why so many meals are based on fish: from soups, to snacks and main courses. All the local plants and fruit are highly used as bases for the main foods. The fruits, such as: bananas, avocados, grapefruits, mangos, papayas, coconut and plantains are not only used for sweet meals, but also as the main course, besides the traditional stew. Bananas used both for the leaves and for the inner fruit in most of the Ghanaian desserts. The most important local vegetables: cassava (with edible roots), Eggplant, maize, okra, locally called ngumbo, chile pepper, sweet potatoes, onions, tomatoes, turnip, yam (it has edible tubers) are bases for fufu, locally known as foofoo, the most significant Ghanaian meal.
