C'mmon, dawadawa is far better than any type of maggi cube or any meat based bouillon. But some vegetable based bouillon are as good as dawadawa, though.

But Ghanaianis should stop using maggi cubes they don't even know what they are made of. They never read the content declarations. In the 60s, our mothers never used such things yet they produced great tasting soup. Today's girls who don't know how to make good soup think they must add maggi to make it tasty. Na lie.

Give me tuo safi with thick vegetable soup seasoned with good dawadawa and I will have absolutely no problems with the world.

Thank you Muntala for bringing dawadawa to the fore. Too bad that as a final year university student your English is strewn with petty mistakes and you didn't even care to read through your work to correct those mistakes you could have seen yourself.

But all hail dawadawa!!!

A 87 year-old man went to the doctor to get a physical after eating magic cube.

A few days later, the doctor saw the man walking down
the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm in a Dawadawa Store.
A couple of days later, when the old man had an
appointment with the doctor again, the doctor said,
"You're really doing great, aren't you?"

The man replied,
"Just doing what you said doctor,
"Get a hot mama and be cheerful."

The doctor said, "I didn't say that!...
I said you have got a heart murmur. Be careful!"

This is not a good article. Attributing all known diseases of high blood pressure, heart diseases etc to Maggie cubes is a little over the top. What research has proven that Maggie cube is a killer, this is nonsense. The writer may be studying nutrition but has very little knowledge about food production. There was a time that HVP (Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein) a flavour ingredient, was an ingredient in Maggie. Some research proved that HVP was carcinogenic in mice, since which HVP was banned. HVP was used in soups and in almost all ready meals. The research, however, was that mice were fed massive quantities of HVP, a quantity which could not be consumed by an average person in 200 years. The mice got cancer and HVP was banned. Dawadawa may be a good flavour ingredient but is there consistency in its production, are there quality controls, is there consistency in the quality of ingredients used? It is not necessarily better than Maggie or any other manufactured product just because it is local. What scientific research shows that Dawadawa has health benefits?

The smell of dawadawa and the smell of momonie are almost the same. Yet it taste good. Your best bet is is prepare these stuff in a "solitary confinement".lol
