WEST AFRICA CUISINE GLOSSARY

What Is Baobab Fruit?

Billed as king of the superfruits. Naturally packed full of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Velvet skin, the baobab feels like a coconut in the flush of youth - minus the long hairs.Inside its flesh is crammed full of vitamin C, calcium and antioxidants.

What Is Jollof Rice?

Ever wondered about the origins of Jollof Rice because most West African's cook it. Every state in West Africa claims that they invented Jollof Rice but more importantly every nation thinks that they make the best dish. Jollof Rice is an absolute must for any family or social occasion. Jollof Rice is made of long grain white rice, tomato stew, peppers, onions and seasoning.
