It has never been a habit as Ghanaians to eat fruits. Although a few people take this seriously, the number of people who eat it versus those who don’t are just incomparable.
Eating fruits occasionally are one thing and making it a habit is another. Whatever the case may be, the facts still remain that fruits are very important foods for our growth and development as humans.
Take a look at 5 fruits Ghanaians love and their English names.
“Aluguintuguin’’ – Soursop
First up, let’s talk about this very popular fruit we call ‘’aluguintuguin’’. Sounds hilarious😁 if you are not a Ghanaian right? Such is the feeling when you taste it as well.
“Yooyi’’ – Velvet Tamarind
Another favourite fruit Ghanaians both adults and children love so much. “Yooyi” is seasonal and often people anticipate it’s arrival. It has a lot of health benefits and is an important fruit especially because it has an ability to inhibit the growth of the main cause of malaria in the body.
“Alansa” – African Star Fruit
This is one of our favourites. There you go with another popular fruit in Ghana. The fruit that gives mixed taste feelings. You enjoy it for its sourness and sweetness at the same time. We know right.
“Abrofo Nkate3’’ – Tropical Almond
What a fruit it has been and still is to Ghanaians. Children loved the fruit but hated the leaves because they would fall all over the place giving the kids some work to do. It grows kindly in almost every location and is widespread in many homes across the country.
“Aguava’’ – Guava
They are believed to have originated from Mexico or Central America. The tree that got many kids beaten. In the past children loved to either climb the “Aguava’’ tree or throw objects to drop down the fruits. It was a fun experience until someone got hit by a stray stone or another fell from a tree.
So now you all know the correct names of our local fruits. Including your favourites right.
