The country Ghana is synonymous with the word culture. All around the world, Ghana is one of the countries recognized as rich in culture with many natural resources from gold, cocoa, oil and tourist sites as well as textiles (kente), festivals, songs, and dances among many others. Food, however, is one complicated topic and often there are debates on which country has the best cuisine.
Ghana is also very popular for ‘’Jollof’’ and in recent times, there has been a battle with Nigeria for who has the best Jollof in Africa. Of course, that may have been settled after Ghana beat Nigeria to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2022. Today, nearly everyone orders for food online in Ghana. Burgers, shawarma, fries, chips and chicken are popular meals Ghanaians order online. Sometimes, these foods are quite expensive and many people prefer local food. Identifying the affordable Ghanaian dishes to buy online is sometimes challenging. Jumia, Africa’s leading online food delivery platform shares a few insights below.
