Ghana Divided Over 'Queen of Crops' Amidst Corn vs. Cassava Debate

The debate over who should be crowned 'Queen of Crops' in Ghana has sparked heated discussions among locals. Two top contenders, Queen Corn and Queen Cassava, have been vying for the title based on their contributions to the country's culinary scene.

Corn is a clear favorite among many, with its versatility in being used as a grain, starch, drink, and vegetable. It's a staple in Ghanaian cuisine, featuring prominently in dishes such as kenkey, banku, koko, apapransa, roasted corn, and more.

Cassava, on the other hand, has been gaining ground with its industrial applications. It's used to make beer, flour, starch, and even ethanol. While it may not be as ubiquitous in Ghanaian cuisine as Corn, Cassava's impact on the country's economy is undeniable.
