I was really impressed with the preparation of akara in Brazil. It shows they never forget their culture. They are so proud of it telling visitors akara was brought to Brazil during slavery. There are many food and styles of preparation in the West Indices as well. |

banku:^^^^^ ^^^^^ Yes it is known as Akara Ijesa or acara je in Bahia in the Salvador area of Brazil. A lot of Yoruba descendants are there till today. The first millionaire in Nigeria, Candido DaRocha was a Brazilian-Yoruba of Ijesa descent in Bahia who returned to Nigeria in the 1850s for the first time with his father and settled in Lagos Island. Between the late 1700s and the late 1800s a lot of Yoruba people such as Ijesas were taken as prisoners of war and shipped to Brazil and Cuba where they took akara to. Hope this info adds more to the existing topic. Happy 2018 everyone! ![]() 2 Likes |
