Niger

Niger map

Nigerien cuisine reflects the country's Sahelian climate, centered on millet, sorghum, and rice paired with vegetable and meat sauces. Nomadic and settled agricultural traditions both shape the country's food culture.

Millet porridge with a rich sauce forms the backbone of everyday Nigerien meals. Grilled meat, particularly goat, is commonly enjoyed at gatherings and markets.
