Liberia is situated in the West of Africa and has a natural space with a rich flora, due to the dense precipitations. Agriculture is the main occupation of the Liberian people and it concentrates on rice, manioc, bananas (especially green bananas), citrus fruits and coconut. This fact explains the traditional cuisine, which consists of a lot of rice meals (rice is eaten at least 2 times per day in all families) and fruits, which are used in various desserts, main courses and salads. Besides these, other aliments that are found very frequent in the Liberian cuisine are: sweet potatoes, yams, cocoyam, plantains, mangos, pineapples and various sorts of nuts and peanuts, which are used in almost all deserts. Still, the meat is not so much consumed, as the variety of plants and their nutrients

  • Liberia is situated in the West of Africa and has a natural space with a rich flora, due to the dense precipitations. Agriculture is the main occupation of the Liberian people and it concentrates on rice, manioc, bananas (especially green bananas), citrus fruits and coconut. This fact explains the traditional cuisine, which consists of a lot of rice meals (rice is eaten at least 2 times per day in all families) and fruits, which are used in various desserts, main courses and salads. Besides these, other aliments that are found very frequent in the Liberian cuisine are: sweet potatoes, yams, cocoyam, plantains, mangos, pineapples and various sorts of nuts and peanuts, which are used in almost all deserts. Still, the meat is not so much consumed, as the variety of plants and their nutrients is consistent and rich enough. Because of its placements, Liberia is highly influenced and representative for the cuisine of the Western African space. Spices such cinnamon, cloves, mint or nutmeg and all colors of pepper have been brought to this region by the Arabian traders. In the middle Ages, the Europeans had an impact on these regions, as there were many spice trades established between the 2 continents.
