Zoomkoom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zoomkoom is a fermented beverage from Burkina Faso and Northern Ghana with a sweet taste.[1]
"Zoom" means flour and “koom” means water in the Mooré language. It is also known as "Zonkuon" in the Dagara language, where "zon" means flour and "kuon" means water, similar to that of the Mooré language. There are varieties of zoomkoom, the traditional and modernized one. The traditional beverage is brown in color and the modernized has a white appearance because millet is used in place of guinea corn and without shea butter.
