About Beans cake
Beans Cake, also known as Akara, is a popular snack rooted in West African cuisine, particularly enjoyed in Nigeria. Made from a blend of ground black-eyed peas, onions, and spices, the mixture is shaped into small portions and deep-fried until golden brown. This crisp-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside treat is often served as breakfast, a snack, or alongside pap or custard. Beans Cake is protein-rich due to its legume base, offering a good amount of fiber and plant-based nutrients. However, because it is traditionally deep-fried, its calorie and fat content can be significant, which may not make it ideal for low-fat diets. For a healthier twist, some opt for air-frying or baking instead. Beans Cake is naturally gluten-free and can easily accommodate vegetarian or vegan diets. Its savory flavor and nutritional profile make it a versatile and beloved dish across generations.
