TOP 10 Traditional Bissau-Guinean Foods

The following highlights some of the popular Traditional Guinea Bissauan Foods. If you manage to be in an Guinea Bissauan restaurant or you are visiting Guinea Bissau, I recommend the following

2. Cashew Nuts

Today, the country is one of the largest producers of raw cashew nuts in the world, and the cashew nut industry has become an extremely important part of Guinea-Bissau’s economy, with households in the country consuming cashew nuts extensively.

It is part of the fermentation broth of the oil palm. The wine collectors make a hole in the tree and insert a leaf that acts as a “funnel” that draws the juice into the container. In the morning they climbed the trees, collected the naturally fermented sap from the bottle and drank the punch shortly after collection.

6. Yassa Chicken

It is chicken with lemon, pepper and onions. The chicken is marinated with onions, garlic, lemon, mustard and chili. Then the meat, onions and the remaining juice are separated to caramelize the onions on one side and fry or grill the chicken on the other. Finally, put everything back in the pan to finish cooking and serve with rice or couscous for a super tasty meal.

Then mix the tuna and add it to the rest of the ingredients, then stuff the avocado shells with the filling and it is ready to serve.
