Ginger, one of the treasures of Ivory Coast
If Africa is the cradle of civilisation, it is also the cradle of flavour. One of the star ingredients that gives its dishes their intensity is ginger, especially in countries like Ivory Coast and Nigeria.
We will talk about the first one today because, as well as being the world’s leading cocoa exporter, it is a major producer of ginger. This root is a constant presence in the country’s street markets in all its forms (fresh, dried, processed, in drinks…) and a source of income for many families.
