About afrikangoods
The raw goods of Africa, one story at a time.
afrikangoods is a media on African raw goods — the foods, beauty ingredients and culture around them. We publish recipes, guides and honest stories, and keep a small shop of things we actually use and trust.
Why we started
Good information, in one place.
Shea, baobab, moringa, rooibos, spices, grains — African raw goods are everywhere, yet honest, usable information about them is scattered. So we started collecting the recipes, the sourcing notes and the stories in one place.
The shop stays small on purpose. Some pieces are our own; others are honest affiliate links to suppliers. Every item is labelled so you always know how it works.
What we cover
01
Recipes
Dishes built around African raw goods — tested, photographed and written to be cooked at home.
02
Raw goods
Field-to-table guides: where ingredients come from, how to choose them, and how to use them well.
03
Culture
The markets, makers and traditions across the continent that shape what we eat and use.
On sourcing
"We follow every ingredient back to where it comes from —and who grows it. Good raw goods start at the source."
— The afrikangoods team
We only write about goods we've used and sourced honestly. If we wouldn't keep it in our own kitchen, it doesn't go on the site.
