What to Eat and Drink When in Ghana

Groundnut soup should be one of the first meals you try in Ghana. This warming, mild-to-spicy dish is cooked with peanut butter, ginger, and either fish or meat and is served at lunchtime or dinner. Like many Ghanaian soups, it’s usually eaten with a carbohydrate like fufu or banku. Also known as hibiscus tea, sobolo is a popular drink in Ghana. Recognizable by its purple-red color and typically sold in labeled water bottles, sobolo can be found in restaurants, chop bars, or even on the roadside.
