From the ingredients to the techniques, African food reflects the diversity of people who inhabit this continent.

People from hundreds of distinct tribes, ethnic groups, and social groups live on the African continent. It's no surprise that African food is so diverse, from the ingredients utilised to the preparation and cooking processes.

Meals with little meat, a lot of nutritious grains and beans, and much more fresh fruits and vegetables are common across the continent. African cuisine has the potential to become the new healthy culinary trend.

Africa's cuisine is a blend of local fruits, cereals, vegetables, milk, and meat products, as well as Arab, European, and Asian influences.

Distinct African regions have quite different eating patterns. In some locations, milk, curd, and whey would make up the majority of the diet, yet in others, milk cannot be produced due to animal diseases. Grains are a staple item in the Eastern African diet, where cattle, sheep, and goats are used as currency and the flesh is rarely, if ever, consumed; yet, in Central Africa, residents not only eat beef and meat when available, but also hunt for other meats in the forest.

Because of the continual engagement with Mediterranean Europe, the food of the countries along the Mediterranean Sea is the most familiar to Westerners of all African countries.

Consider Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt; North African style of cooking may be traced back to the dawn of civilization. Couscous, a mainstay of North African style of cooking, has become a household name, and its popularity outside of Africa is growing by the day. Wheat and semolina were introduced by the Carthaginians. Semolina was transformed into couscous by the Berbers, a Christian nomadic people. Apart from couscous, North African style of cooking is defined by olives and olive oil, which have been used since before the Romans arrived, saffron, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, traditional spices, which were incorporated by the Arabs, baking and sweet pastries, which were introduced by the Ottoman Turks, and some New World foods –tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, and chilli peppers.

Chicken wrap is also a very popular dish enjoyed by people.
