Aprapransa

Aprapransa, originally called 'Akplijii ' is a Ghanaian GaDangme (or Ga) dish prepared by heat mixing (or blending) roasted corn flour with a sacred GaDangme soup called Palm Nut Soup. Palm Nut Soup is an important base ingredient in the preparation of Akplijii, which is an ancient sacred soup of the GaDangme people and is always prepared as a complement to another sacred corn flour meal called Kpokpoi (or Kpekpele) during an Ancient Religious Hebraic Harvest Festival called Homowo. The GaDangme people brought these practices along with them to Ancient Ghana and taught all the tribes how to prepare Palm Nut Soup. Outside Ghana, other tribes in Nigeria such as the Yorubas, Igbos have a variation of palm nut soup called Banga Soup. Over the course of time, the knowledge of the preparation of Palm Nut Soup in Ghana became common and it lost it sacred status. The GaDangme people have from ancient time to present day, used the palm tree in a number of sacred ways; namely, to prepare Palm Nut Soup, the burning of the dry figs as incense for spiritual cleansing, and to ward-off evil spirits, to build new houses every year made up of new palm tree branches.
