Amaarae explains why Ghanaians eat a lot of eggs
Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae recently shared insight into a familiar part of West African food culture — the widespread use of boiled eggs in everyday meals.
Speaking on a podcast, Amaarae explained that the tradition goes beyond just flavour. It has deep historical and economic roots.
She noted that in the past, meat was typically reserved for the head of the household — usually the father. When mothers cooked stew or soup, the larger portions of meat were given to the man, while children were left with very little.
To bridge that protein gap, eggs were added to meals.
“Egg became a cheap add-on for protein,” Amaarae said, pointing out that chicken and other meats were once seen as luxuries, mostly eaten during festive occasions like Christmas.
This practice, she added, helped turn eggs into a regular feature of Ghanaian dishes — a tradition that still lives on today.
