Welcome to Global Food Market, Get to know us better by shopping for all your African food items

Dry goods line the shelves, ranging from potato starch and brown beans to fufu mix (to make a root-vegetable porridge), alligator peppers and Heinz ketchup. In fact, several of the items -- coconut milk, for instance -- could be found in any grocery store, but the imported versions taste different.

There are Nigerian movies, cellophane-wrapped blobs of shea butter that are miles from the perfumed and processed pots of goo at the drug store, and chewing sticks, sort of overgrown toothpicks for cleaning teeth. Jars of brown "Delicious Shitto," a mix of dried herring, shrimp and flavoring, are a big seller with Ghanaians.
