About

Alloco is an popular ✨iconic✨ Ivorian snack made with fried plantains. It's a national dish, and at least 90% of Ivorians like eating alloco.

It has a sweet taste, and can be eaten with fried chicken, boiled eggs or fried fish. Some people also mix it with attiéké.

There are dishes/snacks made with fried plantains in every country where plantain grows, but the difference is in the way it is cut and cooked.

Alloco slices should be small, and long slices (like the congolese one) are generally saw as ugly or gross by Ivorians.
