History [ edit ]
Similar to the Meso American 'dulce de tamale', this was a highly popular indigenous dessert in the Americas. Adapted by the Afro-Caribbean people (who were brought to Antigua and Barbuda as well as other Caribbean Islands in the slave trade), who used ingredients such as eddoes, okra, dasheen, eggplant, and the bonavista bean are used.[14] [full citation needed
In Ghana, ducana is dokono, and in the Twi language, Odokono.
Variations [ edit ]
Dukuna is a small pudding made of varying mixtures of grated sweet potatoes, coconut, cornmeal and plantain-flour. (From Akan: doko na sweeten mouth Twi: boiled maize Ga: Adangme dokona).
