COOKING AND SELLING AFRICAN STREET FOOD FOR A LIVING IN GHANA | REAL LIFE | BUSINESS TO AFRICA

[@sadecampbell9995]

Although I am Jamaican (living in the uk) I have grown to love your videos! It shows the beauty and hard work in Ghana/Africa. "Follow your bless!"

[@JasmineAmaa]

Thanks so much x

[@abotsia]

You can tell from the way she does her cooking that this woman is neat, and the young lady too! She spoke three languages in this video. Nice once @Jas 👍

[@gmog7857]

LMAO, neat?

[@Grow-with-Sophie]

Yes very neat, will definitely eat from this lady when I get to Ghana

[@avonnehuggins2122]

[@JavaRatusso]

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! Me pe se me kɔ Ghana.

What are you waiting for Sir.Ghana is always open for you.

[@JasmineAmaa]

Love to hear that ❤️❤️

[@JavaRatusso]

@@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!

[@georginaanthony4257]

Your street videos make me miss Ghana so much. There’s nothing like home. The authenticity is 👌. Daavi is very clean. Keep it up 👍🏾. I’ve learned a different way of making okro stew.

[@godfreyoseibonsuapraku8766]

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.

[@raymondfarlow6059]

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]

history.....wow

[@Kw33nYv3]

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.

[@jamesmagee5542]

I always enjoy watching your videos. I see women in Africa know to handle a knife, and way they was bagging that Hot dough and okra soup.

[@agbenuke]

Home sweet home. One of the best meal ever. Jasmine, keep up the great work.

[@karleinegraham8682]

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.

*'GBOMA' is literally a bitter leaves that provides blood.we actually have two types.There is one that is very bitter and the other one tastes normal.Always go for the one that is bitter cos that's where the nutrients are. Remember not to use knife to cut the Gboma,just use tear them up*

[@frankbekoe3109]

Wao! I know the Kotoku town that she mentioned. The place was a village far from Amasaman not long ago. Plush residential buildings have now sprung up all around those areas and I doubt it if you can get land to buy now in and around those places Accra has now become now become a mega city.

[@fortuneagbele9322]

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.

[@JasmineAmaa]

I definitely will xx

Why does it have to be slimy; if you don't mind me asking?

@@Khazmic_Kismet that is the normal expected state of okra. Tomato destabilised or simple term break the slimy effect. Though still edible but loose it natural consistency.

To get rid of slimy just use a.little bit of apple cider vinegar or vinegar... It will get rid of the majority of it... But the slime is good for you...

[@tvs9978]

Hi Jasmine, another great one. Just another suggestion to try and research/find some alternative green but economical non-plastic packaging for these hardworking ladies. Since you've established relationships with them, you can potentially be a vessel to help change the course of the plastic menace in Gh. I know Anna Acheampong is very passionate about it too. Perhaps you can link up in the future to source some Eco packaging for these women to sell their food in, without increasing their costs. e.g. Small brown paper bags for the Bofrot seller and a foil liner for this lady's cooler instead of plastic to keep the banku hot. Just ideas
