Grand-Béréby, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) – Today we’re still on the coast of West Africa in Côte d’Ivoire where we’re going to see the entire process, cooking and eating, one of the best West African foods; palm nut soup.
Palm Nut Soup (known locally as Sauce Graine) is one of the great West African foods, but there are many ways to make it. In Grand-Béréby we met up with Léon who is part of the Krumen tribe. In this coastal area they make palm nut soup with the nuts of the African oil palm, and the heart of the same palm tree. The first step was to harvest all the ingredients, and it was also a huge education on where the ingredients came from and the work it takes to harvest them.
The palm nut soup was made with the boiled palm nuts, pounded into an soup and oil, and then boiled with a huge variety of local seafood, and the fresh heart of palm chopped into small pieces. They also added in tons of fresh chiles and a huge amount of dried chilies to make it extremely spicy.
Before eating we were greeted by a representative of the Chief of the village to customarily greeted us with a kola nut, chili, and a drink of local distilled sugarcane.
The palm nut soup was one of the best dishes I’ve eaten in West Africa, truly a complex magical flavor and combination of ingredients. It was a once in a lifetime food experience. And truly the amount of work it took to prepare made me even appreciate it more.
Thank you to Leon and his family for hosting us and preparing Ivorian style palm nut soup!
A huge thank you to my friend Mo Soumahoro from Belle Côte d’Ivoire (https://www.instagram.com/bellecotedivoire/) for arranging my trip and setting up everything.

Eating with the hand from the same plate as the other person is very unhygienic. Also guys stop sharing your bottles, spoon with people. These are one of the reasons why H. pylori is a very common bacteria and it can led in worst case to stomach cancer. Btw Ofc other illnesses can be spread
That snail there's so many here in the Philippines..in my backyard they're eating my plants so I need to kill or squash by shovel..were not eating them sorry😩we believe that snail is poisonous..
Amazing food from a tribe! 😍
This is called kendaa in odisha
nice video. But, I hope cutting down young palm trees just to harvest the heart of palm that's eaten once, is not a routine. That would be eaten your future at the moment. Please, discourage such practices.
Nowhere be like Africa. Nowhere be like home. I'll travel from Kenya to Ivory coast to experience the hospitality.
Amazing video 😋

Your morals are good and beautiful, and I would love for you to learn more about the religion of Islam
My heart melts with these videos watching from London England 🇬🇧
Thank you Mark for this amazing work…
In some countries, bringing down the palm trees are illegal for their hearts, but once does, a salad is made from them. Ist considered the 'millionaire's salad'.
