                                Scientific studies show that the fermentation of cassava, the primary ingredient in fufu, causes a significant drop in its pH level, confirming that fufu does have acid. This natural process, driven by microorganisms, transforms the starchy tuber into the soft, dough-like West African staple we know today.
