Nigerian cuisine reflects the country's vast ethnic diversity, built around rice, cassava, yams, and richly spiced stews. Palm oil and scotch bonnet peppers give many dishes their characteristic depth and heat.

Jollof rice, a tomato-based rice dish, is a beloved staple often debated across West Africa for its regional variations. Egusi soup, made from ground melon seeds, is another widely enjoyed Nigerian classic.
