What do Africans eat every day?
1, cassava

Cassava is the most popular staple food in Congo, and it can be eaten in various ways. Its habit is a bit like sweet potato, and it looks a bit like a combination of yam and taro. Cassava is a woody plant of Euphorbiaceae, and its edible rhizome weighs several kilograms to dozens of kilograms.

2. Corn

In different parts of Africa, the staple food is different. Corn is widely planted in southern Africa, so it is mainly ground into powder. For example, Zimbabwe calls this food sadza. Local people will add some vegetables or meat when they eat, and sadza mainly eats at noon and evening.

3. seafood

Many coastal countries in Africa, such as Senegal, Benin, Cameroon, Central Africa, Madagascar and other countries, so fishing is an important industry, and the broad masses of people rely on the sea to eat the sea, and seafood has become some major food sources.

4. Tropical fruits

In areas with tropical rain forest climate in Africa, such as Congo, the whole country is a large-scale wild botanical garden. The green belts on both sides of the road are mango trees or coconut trees, banana trees are planted in the yard, and there is a small pineapple under the fence. I often meet papaya, jackfruit and avocado.

5. Outdoor barbecue

Barbecues in some African countries are also great. For example, residents in Egypt and Congo like barbecue very much. The local sheep in Congo exercise a lot, climbing up and down, and the roasted meat is delicious.
