- Fresh Fruits & Vegetables
Year round access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a blessing that many Africans take for granted. Though most African foods are seasonal, there are always fresh fruits and vegetables in stock in markets and supermarkets in many places on the continent. Elsewhere, especially in food deserts in America, mere access to fresh fruits and vegetables is impossible, and where available, are highly expensive.
Take an avocado when it is in season. It is about $0.50 in Accra, Ghana, but 300% more expensive in NYC, America – at about $2 for a small fruit.
