Product Details
Placali is one of the best-loved swallows in Côte d'Ivoire, especially among the Akan peoples in the south of the country. Cassava is soaked and fermented, then ground into a dough. When cooked, that dough becomes a soft, elastic swallow with a gentle sour taste that goes perfectly with rich, saucy soups. Buying it as frozen dough saves the days of soaking and fermenting.
For a classic Ivorian meal, serve placali with palm nut soup made from our palm nut cream concentrate, or try attiéké, the other Ivorian cassava favorite.

Do not waste your money by purchasing Soursop Bitters from the sites E### or A##### as it is watered down. I am glad I found this site and this is 100% the real stuff. I have ordered again. I would stand on this because it's the real deal. They're honest and the price is great.
Amazing 10 out of 10! 10 out of 10 out of 10!!!!!

I love these sugar free cookies. I am a diabetic and was delighted with the delicious no after test of most sugar free products.
This is my second time ordering from this website and I'll definitely be back again ❣️
It’s perfect! Use it in my hygiene routine and even better for bug bites
Smells really good, and already seems to be fading on the first day! Very excited for later results
I use with everything from chicken, rice and noodles
Smells amazing and soft! The scent lasted all day and received a lot of compliments
I have eczema and used the cream for the first. The itching stopped and the outbreak did decrease. I will continue to use the product.
Just one week of use, and here’s how my progress is going! This really works. Make sure not to stop using it abruptly and keep the area hydrated
The cookies got wet, in my opinion; they're dry and have yellow residue on them. Please make sure we protect them properly before shipping them here.

I knew this from the Caribbean when I left the country. It's the number one season in the Caribbean I fell in love with the seasoning it's good on everything I will continue to use that only
I tasted this and it's not watered down this has that bitter taste and you know it's real.
Love them, shipping came before due date. Been looking everywhere and couldn't find them. Thanks I'll definitely be ordering more items from here
This is not the brand I order and you showed on the site.
Fast shipping. Great product
The cream is spoiled I need a refund please or send me back good ones
I’ve been craving these since I moved, I’m glad to have found a store that sells it.
Not sure but I wanted to try the product because I heard good reviews from other people, but I’ve never bought from this actual store and it made me break out in hives.
I bought this in Ghana 6 years ago, and was devastated that I couldn't find it anywhere in the US. Its great that I found a site that holds it. Its extremely moisturizing and silky, it makes my skin feel and smell fantastic. It has a strong coco butter scent, but it isn't pure coco butter. So if you're looking for that, this isn't the product for you. Its like a coco butter lotion.

My order arrived on time and was surprisingly well packaged. I was worried because I’ve ordered from other African sellers online, and my packages have arrived broken due to poor packaging or without tracking updates. I used this order as a test, and I’ll definitely be ordering more from Yado soon.
Very good
They sent me what I paid for and on time too. I'll be buying from them henceforth
Really good stuff
