The 21^st century sometimes referred to as the information age has made us more conscious of what we are eating and what our body needs to be healthy.

This is because we are living in ironic times where some “foods” pose health risk to our body because they cause more harm than good in the body.

At the center of all this introspection is the continuous reminder of the importance of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

People are now adapting their diet to resemble the way past societies were eating ,centuries ago because we can now see the harm of all these processed and manufactured foods on our bodies.

We have a post on identifying foods of West-Africa such as vegetables, spices and grains and tubers. These posts, try to list the food varieties and options that are available (We don’t realise the variety of foods we have). 

Fruits are now beyond just an accompaniment to foodst or a snack for the day. They are now a whole lifestyle to some, a complete diet by themselves that is sometimes used to treat various illnesses and improve balance in the body.

We will be focusing on the fruits that are grown in west Africa and I am sure there are more which is why I will be updating the list constantly with more fruits and languages.

. I will not be referring to fruits that are imported from other countries and I am sure you will find that information elsewhere on the internet. So let’s begin:. 1;-

English Name:  Lemon

Botanical Name: Citrus x Limon

Hausa Name: lemun tsami

English Name:  Lime

Botanical Name: Citrus × aurantiifolia

Hausa Name: Lemun Tsami

These common fruits as listed above can be found in the local market almost all year round and are known to the general public.

You may even know many of the benefits and nutritional profiles of these fruits and how to eat them. There is so much you can do with this limited selection of fruits because they can be bought almost at any time of the year.

The only difference is that they may be more expensive depending on the season.

Beyond just eating them as fruits, you can eat them in various ways such as baking, drinks, and smoothies and also taking them as a home remedy for minor health issues such as fatigue, flu, dehydration, constipation etc.

The internet is the best resource for finding creative and unknown uses of various things including fruits so with this information, challenge yourself to do something different with them.
