The origins of Bantu cuisine
Bantu cuisine originates from West-Central Africa (around modern-day Nigeria/Cameroon) and was shaped by the Neolithic expansion of Bantu-speaking peoples, who introduced agriculture, ironworking, and livestock (cattle, goats) across sub-Saharan Africa. The cuisine is historically rooted in farming yams, sorghum, and millet, later incorporating bananas/plantains and, post-Columbian exchange, maize and cassava.
