Welcome to africanfoods.co.uk, the home of African Foods in the United Kingdom

African foods are unrefined natural products often grown at subsistence level across that continent. From the estuaries of the Zambezi basin to the plains of Ashante, far afield to castles in Casablanca, Calabar, Lagos, Lome to the legendary port of Alexandria, African cuisines are prepared from ingredients made from cassava, millet, sorghum, cocoyam, rice, beans, matoke, plantain, palm oil, yam, fish, poultry, bush meat, beef, and an array of fruits and vegetables. And more. And more.

They are often food items rich in dietary fibers and low in refined sugars and additives, providing a balanced highly nutritional diet when properly prepared and eaten.

Most fruits like mangoes, bananas, oranges, pawpaw, pineapples, coconuts and a host of other "tropical fruits" known in the Western world comes from Africa or The Caribbeans. They are every day fruits found growing in most premises in African towns and cities and make part of the African dessert.

Facts about African foods understandably, will be better related by Africans themselves.

That not much is known about foods from Africa stems from the fact that people from that extraction are yet to take the message of African foods outside their continent, and sell it as vigorously as the Asians have done to their food, that in many parts of the Western world, Indian foods and Indian Restaurants, Chinese foods and Chinese Restaurants and even Thai foods and Thai Restaurants are so well known that they eclipse traditional Western cuisines in certain districts.
