Tag: Nigerian food culture

Nigeria has a diverse and dynamic food culture, and while cheese might not be a staple in every traditional dish, it is an established part of the Nigerian diet in both local and international forms. Traditionally, Nigerians have enjoyed locally-produced fresh cheese, and in recent years, imported cheese has become widely available due to urbanization and exposure to global cuisines.

Nigeria is the world's largest producer of yams, accounting for a staggering 70% of the global supply, which underscores the central role starchy vegetables in Nigeria play in the nation's diet. This rich agricultural heritage means a wide variety of starchy tubers are fundamental to the daily meals of millions across the country.
