    South Africa’s gastronomic background has evolved from the many cultures that make up its population

    The vast size of the country also influences its culinary uniqueness with many regions playing a significant role in the diversity of foods available. Because of such diversity in culture and landscape, South African cuisine is distinctly unique – from the range of colours, aromas and flavours, to the way that it is prepared, cooked and served.

  • South African food geography

    South Africa is known for its agricultural sector, which produces a wide range of raw foods...

    A variety of soft, hard and stone fruits (strawberries, apples, peaches, etc) are grown throughout the Western Cape, while the province’s earthly latitude makes it the ideal location for growing grapes and making wine.

    Further north in Mpumalanga and Limpopo, citrus farms see massive production of oranges, grape-fruit, lemons and limes while Kwa-Zulu Natal, which has a sub-tropical climate, is suited for growing tropical fruits such as bananas, papaya, avocados and mangoes.

    South Africa’s staple, maize (mielie-pap), along with wheat and other grains, is farmed abundantly across the country (especially in the higher plains of the Free State and Gauteng). Another staple - meat (beef, pork and lamb) - is also farmed across the entire country. Even our oceans (with the help of massive food distribution processes) are able to keep the towns and cities across South Africa stocked up on fresh fish and seafood.
