How Street Vendors Stack Boiled Eggs into Tower Displays in Ghana

[0:00]What looks like a risky balancing act is actually a clever way to sell a very simple food. In some streets in Ghana, vendors carry stacks of boiled eggs piled high on their heads, shaped almost like a small tower. To keep them from slipping, the eggs are rolled in a light mixture before stacking. As it dries, salt crystals create more grip, while the remaining starch forms a thin, slightly sticky layer, just enough to hold everything together. The eggs aren't just for show, they're usually cut open and served with chili sauce, onions or other quick toppings, making an easy street breakfast. It's a simple idea, but the visual impact is strong and keeping that stack steady takes real skill.
